Kiwi rugby and league fans can look forward to another dose of free sport on their screens.

During the 2024 season, Sky will ensure viewers will have a free NRL match to watch on Friday and a free Super Rugby Pacific match available on Saturday through their Sky Open service.

This will begin with the Highlanders v Moana Pasifika match, airing Saturday February 24.

Super Rugby Pacific chairman Kevin Malloy says this development will be good news for the competition- and the fans.

"I think being able to make Super Rugby available to as many fans as possible can only be good for the competition, and actually for fans as well. It's quite a significant part of what we're trying to do going forward."
