The 2024 Super League season, known as the 2024 Betfred Super League for sponsorship reasons, was the 29th season of the Super League and 130th season of rugby league in Great Britain.
Wigan Warriors were the defending champions, having beaten Catalans Dragons in the Grand Final, to win their sixth Super League title. [1] They retained their title by defeating Hull KR 9–2 in the Final, and by doing so, they become the first team in Super League history to win all 4 major trophies in the same year.
London Broncos were promoted from the Championship, having beaten Toulouse Olympique in the Championship Grand Final. [2]
Hull KR reached their first ever Grand Final, after a narrow 10–8 victory over Warrington Wolves in the semi finals.
At the end of the 2023 season, IMG and the Rugby Football League (RFL) released initial gradings, indicating which league clubs would likely be playing in from the 2025 system. This transition to the new gradings-based system means there will be no automatic relegation as a result of finishing 12th from 2024.
On 23 October, the RFL released the gradings for the 2025 season, which saw London Broncos relegated back to the Championship, with Wakefield Trinity being promoted.
In a major change for the 2024 season, for the first time every fixture from the 27 regular rounds as well as the play-offs was broadcast live on Sky Sports, who had exclusive rights to two fixtures per round, with four being shown on a new streaming service, SuperLeague+. [3] The games televised by Sky Sports between round 1 and round 15 were confirmed prior to the start of the season. [4]
On 7 February, BBC Sport announced a three-year deal with the league, replacing Channel 4 as the league's free-to-air partner. [5] Ten games per season will be shown live on television, with a further five shown on iPlayer, the BBC's streaming platform. The deal ended the BBC's Super League Show after 25 years, with condensed highlights of all games being added to iPlayer within 24 hours.
The league comprises 12 teams. The regular season comprises 27 rounds. Wigan Warriors are the defending champions after winning the 2023 Grand Final. Wakefield Trinity finished bottom in 2023 and were relegated to the Championship for 2024, they were replaced by promoted London Broncos who won the 2023 Championship Grand Final after finishing 5th in the table.

The first team to score either a try, penalty goal or drop goal during this period, will win the match. However, if there are no further scores during the additional 10 minutes period, then the match will end in a draw.
