That would be the 11th Super League fixture involving Daryl Powell’s side to be shown on television in 2022 to that point – the joint-most in the competition alongside Catalans Dragons.
To date, seven of Warrington’s 11 league games have been televised – five on Sky Sports and two on Channel Four.
Sky will also show each of their next three Super League matches – Saturday’s trip to Catalans, the visit of St Helens to The Halliwell Jones Stadium next Thursday and the home game against Leeds Rhinos on June 3.
By the end of Round 16, Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos (10 each) will be just behind Warrington and Catalans in terms of the number of televised matches.
At the other end of the scale, Toulouse Olympique will have been involved in just two live fixtures.
