Warrington’s long-awaited debut fixture in the Betfred Women’s Super League – against local rivals Wigan Warriors this Sunday at noon – has been selected as the first match to be shown live for free on Twitch in 2021.

The Wolves were promoted to the BWSL – with Huddersfield Giants – for 2020, only for the Covid pandemic to force the abandonment of the entire season.

Huddersfield are not involved in this weekend’s opening round of matches, but Warrington have been handed an attractive opening fixture against Wigan, the 2018 champions.

Twitch will stream coverage of one BWSL fixture every weekend in 2021 – and as a bonus, will also cover the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup, starting with the preliminary round fixture on Sunday week (April 25) when Huddersfield will kick off their campaign against Warrington.

All matches covered live on Twitch will be repeated on Our League on Monday night from 8pm.

The initial rounds will be played behind closed doors at Victoria Park with the hope a number of supporters can attend once Covid-19 restrictions lift.
