There is a full round of Super League fixtures this weekend with all 14 teams in action. The main attraction will see Super League and World Club Champions Hull Kingston Rovers take on Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas at the Allegiant Stadium.
This is the second year Super League has taken a game to Las Vegas following on from Wigan Warriors versus Warrington Wolves last season. There will once again be thousands of Brits on the Las Vegas strip this weekend.
Before that game gets underway there will be Super League action with Wigan and Leigh Leopards facing off in the Battle of the Borough on Thursday evening which has the potential to be the match of the round.
The other games include Castleford Tigers against Huddersfield Giants, Hull FC versus York Knights, Warrington v Wakefield Trinity, Catalans Dragons against St Helens and Bradford Bulls at home against fellow new boys Toulouse.
David Kuzio is our rugby league expert and RL author here at Betting.co.uk. Last week he got four out of seven in his big acca. Below is his predictions for round 3 and the season as a whole. Let's see if you agree with him.
Wigan and Leigh share the same Borough and there is no love lost between both of sets of supporters. The animosity between the clubs widened last season when Leopards owner Derek Beaumont was upset that the Warriors did not give them a bigger allocation of tickets for their play-off semi-final last October.
This sort of thing makes the game even bigger. All eyes will be on the talent on the field, but some eyes will be on whether or not Beaumont attends the game and if he shakes hands with Wigan CEO Kris Radlinski.
Back to the rugby league, Wigan are unbeaten this season thanks to wins over Castleford Tigers and Hull FC, while Leigh beat Leeds Rhinos in round one before going down to a narrow defeat at the hands of St Helens.
The Warriors looked impressive in their 34-6 win over Hull as they played expansive rugby with great tries from Jai Field (2), Sam Walters, Zach Eckersley, Sam Eseh Jr and Bevan French.
The Leopards looked like real title contenders in their opening half against St Helens, but it fell apart in the second half as they slumped to a 20-18 loss at the Brewdog Stadium.
Last season, Leigh won the opening game of the season 1-0 in golden point extra time, while Wigan won when it mattered as they beat the Leopards 18-6 to reach the Grand Final for the third year in succession.
Wigan ended last season with no trophies, and although only two games have been played in 2026, the Warriors look more determined than ever as they look to right some wrongs from 2025.
This should be a thrilling and close encounter, but I am backing a home win with Wigan winning by 7-12 points. I expect defences to be on top for the most part, but I will stick my neck out and say that both Jai Field and Bevan French will cross for any time tries.

Rugby League is Las Vegas! That seemed like a pipe dream a few years ago, but Hull KR and Leeds will battle it out at the Allegiant Stadium - home of NFL side Las Vegas Raiders - in the second Super League match ever to be staged in America.
Playing rugby league in Las Vegas is in its third year with the NRL having two standalone matches in 2024, before Wigan and Warrington joined them a year later.
I was fortunate to be in Las Vegas for both 2024 and 2025 events and got to cover the Wigan versus Warrington game last season. I am very envious that I will not be in Vegas this weekend, but three years in succession in Las Vegas might not have gone down to well at home.
Hull KR are the current Super League, Challenge Cup, League Leaders Shield and World Club Champions and thousands of their supporters will be invading Sin City as they look to spread their brand worldwide.
The Robins are a very good side - this was proved last season and the way they defeated Brisbane Broncos in the World Club Challenge - but I feel recent events will have taken its toll on the squad.
It was a gruelling encounter against the Broncos and a lot of their focus would have been on that fixture, as well as the flight to Las Vegas. I just feel some energy will have been sapped and it will affect their performance.
They will face a Leeds Rhinos team who will still be on a high from their first win of the season as they defeated York Knights last Friday. Winger Maika Sivo finally made his Super League debut last weekend after a year on the sidelines and he made up for lost time with a brace of tries in a 46-14 success.
Hull KR will quickly find out that they have a target on their back. Every single team will be out to beat them and will up their game every weekend. This is nothing new, teams like St Helens, Bradford and Wigan all had to put up with that over the years.
The Rhinos love a big occasion and I am backing them to shock the champions and walk up the Las Vegas Strip with two competition points. Jake Connor is the reigning Man of Steel and he will be the difference in Vegas, I am backing him to have a hand in a few tries, get the man of the match award and guide Leeds to a 6-10 points victory.

Bradford Bulls versus Toulouse was a Championship fixture and on Sunday they will meet in round three of Super League. Toulouse have surprised a few already this season with two wins from two, while Bradford have won one and lost one.
The Bulls lost their opening game away at Hull in what was a good showing. In week two they returned to Odsal and put in a superb showing to get past Catalans Dragons 28-10 with Waqa Blake grabbing a brace of tries.
Toulouse hit the ground running with victory over Wakefield Trinity in round one, before the extended their unbeaten run with a home success over Castleford Tigers.
This should be an entertaining game and I am backing the visitors to make it three wins in succession. Olly Ashall-Bott is showing the world he is a Super League player and I am backing him to have a big influence on the outcome of this game.
I am backing Toulouse to win by 13+ points, while I am also backing Ashall-Bott and Paul Ulberg to score for the visitors with Waqa Blake crossing for the Bulls.

Below is my Super League betting accumulator and the reasons for my choices. Wigan at home will be too strong for Leigh. The likes of Zach Eckersley, Field, French and Harry Smith will be key to a win for the Warriors.
There are two matches on Friday. Castleford and Huddersfield are both winless this season. The Tigers looked good against Wigan, but fell away in the second half. They will be without Blake Taafe for the season with an ACL injury, but I think on home soil they will be too good for the Giants.
Hull FC were abysmal last week against Wigan and they face a York Knights side who will be looking for another scalp against a team from Humberside. Hull suffered big injury news in the week with Will Pryce out for the season with an ACL problem. Again, I think home advantage will be key this week, I am backing the Black and Whites to get past York.
Warrington will be raring to get back into action after having a bye last week due to Hull KR's involvement in the World Club Challenge, and I am backing them to make it two wins from two against a Wakefield Trinity side who - despite grabbing their first win in round 2 - are not firing on all cylinders just yet.
Catalans Dragons host St Helens on Saturday evening with both teams entering round 3 with a record of one win and one defeat. The Dragons are a different threat when they are home, and I am unsure about St Helens so far this season. For this reason, I am backing the Dragons to grab their second win.
Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos will kick off at midnight UK time on Sunday with all eyes on Las Vegas. I backed against the Robins last week after their poor showing in round one. I am backing against them again this week.
I have nothing against the Robins, but the intensity of their WCC game against Brisbane will have taken its toll and I am expecting the Rhinos to come out all guns blazing to take their scalp.
The final game of the round sees newly promoted teams Bradford Bulls and Toulouse battle it out at Odsal. Home advantage will be key for the promoted team, but Toulouse look the real deal this season. I am backing them to make it three wins from three with Olly Ashall-Bott taking centre stage.

Sky Sports is the main broadcaster for Super League and they promise to show every single game live each week. They will broadcast a main game on their TV channels, but if a game kicks off at the same time on the same day then it will be streamed on their Sky Sports + red button channel.
All seven games will be shown by Sky Sports in some capacity over the weekend. You can watch Super League on Sky Sports or Sky Sports + this weekend and stream it through the Sky Go app or with a NOW TV pass if you do not have a Sky subscription.
Bet365 will also be offering live streaming on Super League games this season. Which ever games are not being shown on the Sky Sports main channel, then they will be streamed live at Bet365. There will be no commentary on the matches, but you will see the live pictures.
So, if you are not a subscriber to Sky Sports and you fancy watching Castleford versus Huddersfield, Hull v York, Warrington against Wakefield and Bradford Bulls versus Toulouse, then sign up with Bet365 and watch the games streamed live online.
Betfred is the principal sponsor of Super League, so it makes sense that they are running a couple of special offers ahead of the opening weekend.
Below is the Betfred offers that will go hand in hand with the start of Super League. These will obviously change each week, but it is a good starting point when it comes to Super League betting sites.
Newly promoted York Knights travel to Hull FC on Friday evening in search of their second Super League victory of the season. Knights winger Scott Galeano has scored in his last two matches and Betfred has boosted his odds to 2/1 from 6/4 to score a try during the 80 minutes.
Scott Galeano to score a try - 2/1 Betfred
This Betfred offer runs throughout the whole campaign and gives rugby league betting fans a great incentive to get involved. The Double Delight offer sees punters receive double the odds when their selected player scores the opening try of the game and then goes on to score another later in the game.
Wigan Warriors won back-to-back Grand Finals in 2023 and 2024, before losing their title in last season's Grand Final to Hull Kingston Rovers. The Warriors have not boosted their squad as much as others, but the return of Oliver Partington from Catalans Dragons has added some grunt in the pack. Betfred are backing Wigan to return to Old Trafford for the fourth successive year and regain their Super League title. Do you agree?
Wigan Warriors to win the 2026 Grand Final - 7/4 @ Betfred
A lot of the focus when it comes to rugby league betting is on who will win the Super League Grand Final or the Challenge Cup, but what about the teams that will not be fighting for silverware? Bradford Bulls are back in Super League after a lengthy absence, but do they belong at the top table is the question on everyone's lips. You can get odds of 9/4 with Betfred for the Bulls to finish bottom of the Super League ladder.
Bradford Bulls to finish bottom of Super League - 7/2 @ Betfred

A lot of people will disagree with me, and I am fine with that. It is a long season and a lot of things can happen with injuries and suspensions, but I feel Leigh will have their best season yet.
I have gone with the newly promoted teams to finish in the bottom three. This is not a dig at them, the step up to Super League is harsh. By the time they get to grips with the league, their season could already be over. I know both York and Toulouse managed wins in round one, but it is a long season. Can they match the intensity they showed last week every single week?
The next list is the latest odds when it comes to rugby league betting and who will win Super League with BetMGM.
