Sky Sports pundits predict Hull KR will defend their Super League title in 2026, with most favoring the defending champions to repeat their treble-winning success. The season kicks off on February 12 as York Knights host champions Hull KR, setting the stage for what could be another dominant campaign for Willie Peters' side as they attempt to maintain their championship momentum.

Leigh and Leeds emerge as potential dark horses, while St Helens under new coach Paul Rowley and Warrington Wolves face scrutiny after a disappointing 2025. London Broncos, despite missing Super League inclusion, draw attention with Darren Lockyer's influence and Challenge Cup ambitions as they prepare for potential promotion, with Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Dean Hawkins in strong form.

Sky Sports will broadcast every Super League match live throughout the 2026 season. The competition promises intriguing storylines, particularly how Hull KR handles the pressure of being champions and whether Warrington can bounce back under Rowley's leadership, with both teams setting the tone for what should be a compelling campaign that tests the mettle of established powers.
