It is being reported this evening that Sky Sports WILL air Hull FC’s historic match against the St George Illawarra Dragons during their tour of New South Wales next month.

Some supporters had been worried that the game at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney, which forms part of a double-header with the Wigan Warriors also taking on Sputh Sydney, may not be televised in the UK.

But according to rugbyleagueontv.com, Sky Sports have confirmed they will be showing both games on Saturday 17th February on their ‘Arena’ channel.

With the double header being broadcast by Fox Sports Australia, it is likely that Sky will show the Australian channel’s feed.

It will be an early start for Black & White fans not travelling to Australia, with coverage set to start at 6:45am.

Meanwhile, Hull FC’s clash with the Wigan Warriors a week prior to the double header has also been confirmed. As expected, Sky will broadcast the game live from the Wollongong Stadium, the first Super League match to be played in Australia.
