Super League expands to 15 clubs for the 2027 season

Super League shareholders have agreed to increase the top flight to 15 teams for the 2027 campaign, paving the way for potential inclusion of London Broncos.

Shareholders of the Super League have voted to expand the competition from 14 clubs to 15 for the 2027 season. The decision now moves to the Rugby Football League board, which will establish criteria and a panel to oversee the selection process. This expansion move brings the London Broncos closer to joining the top flight. Backed by Australian businessman Grant Wechsel and former player Darren Lockyer, the Broncos dominated the second tier last season and feature strongly in proposed investment plans.
