  3. ↑ Leeds were originally due to play Castleford, but Castleford were stood down on 7 October after three players tested positive for Covid-19 and six more ordered to isolate. This left Castleford with just 14 fit players to form a team, so now they will play Hull in Round 18 instead.[24]
  4. ↑ As a result of at least six Hull F.C. players testing positive for COVID-19, round 9 matches involving Hull F.C. and their opponents, Salford Red Devils, were postponed, and the fixture list was reversed for this round, with Castleford now set to play St Helens, whilst Wakefield will now play Catalans.[27]
  5. ↑ Match postponed on 21 October after five Catalans players and two members of the coaching staff tested positive for Covid-19.[29]
  6. 1 2 3 Match cancelled after Super League meeting on 3 November rescheduled the play-offs and ended the regular season early.[30]
  1. 1 2 Salford forfeited a game against Warrington. Under RFL operational rules, the game is recorded as a 24–0 victory for Warrington and converse loss for Salford with the points scored/conceded applying to both teams.[2]
  2. ↑ Huddersfield were placed on standby to take the place of any of the four teams in the elimination finals should one be unable to fulfil their fixture.[3]
