The season starts on Thursday, February 1 and Sky Sports will show all 12 teams in the opening month of the competition, which also includes newly-promoted Hull KR facing Leeds and Catalans in weeks two and three of the season.

2018 will also see the hotly anticipated return of the Hull derby, as the two sides go head to head on March 30 and are then part of a super line-up across the Magic Weekend in May.

Sky Sports will show all 12 teams in action at Magic Weekend, which will be held in Newcastle for a fourth successive year in 2018.

Leeds and Castleford will meet for a Grand Final rematch in Newcastle as the clash of the champions and league leaders will bring down the curtain on the opening day at St James' Park on Saturday May 19, while the return of the Hull derby will round off the action on the Sunday.
