Road to Wembley for 2026 RL Challenge Cup final confirmed
Rugby League will return to Wembley Stadium again next May with tickets for the 2026 Betfred Challenge Cup Finals Day now on sale at special Earlybird prices.
Wembley has been the home of the men’s Challenge Cup Final since 1929, with the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup Final added in 2023 – and RL Commercial has confirmed that next year’s finals will be played on Saturday, May 30.
Rugby League fans can buy tickets via Schedule | MyProVenue™, with a range of options available – from premium seating on the half-way line to value seats in the upper tier. Tickets are priced from £22 for adults and £12 for under 16s.
The 2026 Road to Wembley in the Betfred Challenge Cup will start early in the New Year with the opening rounds contested by clubs and teams from the community game, before Wakefield Trinity and the rest of the Betfred Super League clubs join the competition in the third round in early February.
Once again there will be a repeat of the seeded draw, whereby the top division sides will be drawn away to one of the second round winners, ensuring a range of giantkilling opportunities that proved a success when introduced for 2025.
The format of the 2026 Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
Tickets have also gone on sale for the 2026 Betfred Super League Grand Final – which will return to Old Trafford, but on the slightly earlier date of Saturday, October 3.
The date change is due to a shift in football’s October international window and means the Super League Grand Final will be played on the same weekend as the NRL Grand Final – which will also allow the England team more time to prepare for the 2026 Rugby League World Cup in Australia.
There is a special Earlybird offer for the early October Grand Final, with 25% off tickets in all prices for a limited period at https://mpv.tickets.com/?agency=RGLV_PL_MPV&orgid=57429&eventid=1058.
Ticket prices start at £30 for adults and £15 for U16s.
