Notes

  1. Where teams have the same win percentage, position is decided by points scored percentage (points scored divided by points conceded).[1]
  2. Salford forfeited a game against Warrington. Under RFL operational rules, the game is recorded as a 24–0 victory for Warrington and converse loss for Salford with the points scored/conceded applying to both teams.[2]
  3. Huddersfield were placed on standby to take the place of any of the four teams in the elimination finals should one be unable to fulfil their fixture.[3]
  4. Salford deducted three wins by the Rugby Football League for failing to meet the terms of a financial commitment agreed in 2013.[4]

Notes
  1. as a result of the covid 19 outbreak, the RFL announced a suspension of fixtures in the Betfred Super League season indefinitely, during which time, the season’s structure and fixture rescheduling will be considered..
