Editorial standards
How we make decisions, what we won't do, and how we handle corrections.
This site is a reference resource. The bar for what we publish is straightforward: we say what's true, we say it plainly, and we correct it when we're wrong.
Verification before publication
Every broadcast right we list traces to either an official broadcaster announcement, a league press release, or a published news report from a recognised industry outlet. We don't republish rumours. Every transfer in our data has a public confirmation we can point to. The validator script will refuse to build the site if data references invalid teams, broadcasters, countries, or competitions.
Independence
No broadcaster, league, club, sponsor, or affiliate network has approval rights over our content. We accept advertising and affiliate commissions (see the affiliate disclosure), but commercial considerations don't determine which broadcaster we recommend. If a free-to-air option is the best answer, we say so — even though we earn nothing from it.
Corrections policy
If we get something wrong — a broadcaster name, a price, a transfer date, a stadium capacity — we want to know. The fastest fix is an email to hello@rugbyleaguestreams.com. We don't publish a public corrections log, but we update fast (typically within 48 hours for clear factual fixes), and we note the verification date on every page that displays time-sensitive information.
What we'll never do
- Recommend illegal streams, no matter how convenient
- Suggest workarounds for geo-blocks (VPN tunnels, proxy services for circumvention) — we cover the legitimate options and stop there
- Hide or downplay free-to-air options to favour paid affiliate links
- Publish unverified transfer rumours, even with hedging language
- Use AI-generated text without human review and editing
- Run pop-ups, ad walls, or aggressive subscription prompts

Editorial corrections, factual disputes, takedown requests, and DMCA complaints all go to the same place: hello@rugbyleaguestreams.com. Please use a clear subject line so we can triage quickly.
