Super League approves expansion to 15 teams
Super League’s shareholders have agreed to expand the competition from 14 clubs to 15 for the 2027 season, a first for the top flight. The decision could give London Broncos a route back into Super League after they were left out of the expansion for 2026.
The Rugby Football League board will set the entry criteria and appoint a panel to assess clubs before making a recommendation. London won the 2026 Championship Grand Final and 1895 Cup but ranked 16th in the end-of-season grading list, below Barrow Raiders. The league has yet to finalise its 2027 sponsorship, broadcast arrangements or fixtures.
In short
- Super League will have 15 clubs in 2027.
- London Broncos could be considered for promotion.
- The RFL board will set the selection process.
