Posted : 11 November 2026
Super League shareholders have agreed to increase the competition from 14 to 15 clubs for the 2027 season, with the Rugby Football League (RFL) now responsible for establishing the selection criteria and appointing a panel to oversee the process.
The decision comes as Super League continues discussions over broadcast agreements, title sponsorship and potential investment from Australia's National Rugby League, with a possible
investment deal reportedly linked to London Broncos' inclusion.
