A Question of Sport: Super Saturday (often shortened to Super Saturday) was a British television programme which was a spin-off from the long-running quiz show A Question of Sport.

Super Saturday was hosted by comedian Jason Manford, with Helen Skelton on pre-recorded rounds, and began airing on 21 June 2014 on BBC One. The show received a large amount of negative reviews from critics and after just one series it was cancelled.

The show was recorded at MediaCityUK on 5 and 6 June 2014, with more than one episode being recorded each day.

The show received complaints over its similarity to the game show A League of Their Own and the fact that a large number of guests were all from BBC programmes. The show was largely panned by critics and was cancelled after just 1 series.
