The 2024 Wheelchair Super League (also known as the 2024 Betfred Wheelchair Super League for sponsorship purposes) will be the fifth season of the Rugby Football League (RFL) premier wheelchair rugby league competition.
The defending champions are Wigan Warriors who won the 2023 Grand Final, defeating Leeds Rhinos 50–42.[1]
Five teams form the league and each will play eight fixtures during the regular season, playing each of the other teams twice - home and away. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams will advance to the play-offs which are knock-out semi-finals followed by the grand final.[2]
Unlike 2023, there will not be magic rounds with matches played at neutral venues. The teams will have more home fixtures with the aim of increasing local support.[3]
The grand final will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.[4]
