Bradford Bulls were the first club to formally confirm their intention to play in the competition which has been created following the cancellation of the Championship and League 1 campaigns.
Their participation will depend on the successful return of supporters while Dewsbury Rams and Batley Bulldogs are keen to take part if they can secure Covid-19 testing at a reasonable cost.
However, the majority of clubs will not be taking part, mainly due to financial and player welfare concerns. Below is a list of where every club stands on the RFL's proposed competition, which is set to have a prize pot of £250,000 available.
