How Can I Watch Australian Rugby League Games While in the United States?
Australian rugby league is a sport not to be confused with rugby union. Rugby league has 13 players instead of union's 15. It has its own set of rules and is a popular winter sport in Australia. Rugby league can be difficult to find on U.S. television, and was formerly shown on the Setanta Sports network. When Setanta lost the rights to the game, Spike TV became the new home of Australian Rugby League.
