The 2017 Super League season, known as the Betfred Super League XXII for sponsor reasons, is the 22nd season of Super League and 123rd season of rugby league in Britain. Twelve teams compete over 23 rounds, including the Magic Weekend, which takes place at St James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, after which the eight highest enter the Super League play-offs for a place in the Super League Grand Final. The four lowest teams then enter the qualifying play-offs, along with the four highest teams from the Championship, to determine which teams will play again in Super League XXIII.
Super League XXII features twelve teams, the third year in which this number has taken part. This is also the third year since promotion and relegation was reintroduced into the competition, seeing Leigh Centurions promoted and Hull KR relegated from last season.
Eleven teams in Super League are from the North of England. Six teams hail from the historic county of Lancashire, west of the Pennines: Warrington, St Helens, Salford, Wigan, Leigh, and Widnes. Five teams hail from the historic county of Yorkshire, east of the Pennines: Huddersfield, Wakefield, Leeds, Castleford, and Hull. Catalans Dragons, located in Perpignan, France, are the only team outside the North of England. St Helens, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, and Leeds Rhinos are the only teams to have played in every season of Super League since 1996.
