RFL Betfred Championship and League 1 update
The RFL and the Betfred Championship and League 1 clubs are targeting a return in 2021 well before Easter – even if crowds are not permitted until April. The clubs met virtually today and debated a number of possible fixture schedules for 2021 – all of which involve some matches in March.

The Easter weekend from […]
