Million Pound Game is an annual play off game between the sides finishing in 4th and 5th in the Super 8s Qualifiers, the second stage of the British Rugby League season. The game is played at the higher seed's home ground, and decides which side will gain a berth in the Super League the following season.

It was instigated in 2015, with the restructuring of the Rugby League season by the Rugby Football League.

At the end of the regular season the bottom 4 teams in Super League play the top four teams in the Championship in a league of 8. The top three teams get a place in Super League whilst teams finishing fourth and fifth play each other for the final Super League place.
