NEW! Rugby League Fan Engagement Index 2026

All of the data we collect for the Rugby League Fan Engagement Index are publicly available, via club, league and other websites and sources. It comprises only the English clubs in Super League. 

The Rugby League Fan Engagement Index, like its football counterpart, awards up to 240 points to clubs overall based on the quality of their Fan Engagement. It comprises three categories, each offering up to 80 points. Final figures correct as of the 30th November of the end of the season concerned.

All of the data we collect for the Fan Engagement Index are publicly available, via club, league and other websites and sources. It involves no surveying of fans or others. We do not contact clubs directly during the process, to as closely as possible mirror the journey of a fan attempting to find out the information themselves, and to ensure fairness to all clubs.

This year we have not sent a copy of what has been collected for each club at any stage.
