COVID-19 Affected Season

In Round 7, Leeds Rhinos refused to travel to Spain for their game against Catalans Dragons as one of their players had COVID-19 symptoms.

Shortly afterwards, the RFL announced a 3-week suspension of the game at all levels, with play due to resume on the 2nd of April. However, the effects of the pandemic quickly worsened in the United Kingdom, and no more games were played until August 2020.

During this time, the Toronto Wolfpack withdrew from the competition. The results of their matches up to round 6 were nullified, however the player records obtained in those games would be kept. Due to the imbalance in matches played by each team, the rules were adjusted so teams were ranked by win percentage. Scrums were also replaced by a change of possession for the remainder of the season.

In November 2020, Salford was docked 3 wins from their percentage calculation due to financial matters in the 2013 season. Hull KR also pulled out for the remainder of the year due to Coronavirus, which forced the competition to be brought to its conclusion early. A top 6 finals system replaced the usual 8 team format.

All games were played at empty venues from the August resumption, with the exception of Catalans Dragons' last 3 home games, when the French government permitted crowds of up to 5,000 to attend.
