Early bird Magic prices - Last chance!

12 TEAMS, 2 DAYS, 1 EPIC EVENT.

There is still chance to join the MAGIC WKND party at Elland Road for a discounted price - with the early bird offer ending on Tuesday 30 January.

Make sure you secure your place at the Summer Festival of Rugby League and get your sporting fix, where there will be six incredible Betfred Super League clashes all hosted at the same stadium on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 August - with this year's Super League set to be more competitive than ever before!

 A reminder of the Betfred Super League MAGIC WKND fixtures can be found below:

 Saturday 17 August

Hull FC v London Broncos

Wigan Warriors v St Helens

Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos

 Sunday 18 August

Leigh Leopards v Salford Red Devils

Catalans Dragons v Hull KR

Huddersfield Giants v Castleford Tigers

 

Saturday's set of fixtures will kick-off with Tony Smith's Hull FC, always one of the best-supported clubs at Magic, taking on the newly-promoted London Broncos in the curtain-raiser, and London will be making their first Magic appearance since 2019. The Broncos haven't beaten the Black and Whites since 2010 and the capital side will be relishing the opportunity to return to rugby league's summer spectacular.

This will be then followed by a blockbuster clash between the reigning Super League Champions Wigan and their fierce rivals St Helens, where Elland Road's current capacity of around 37,000 is expected to be tested. This will be only the second time since 2012 that Wigan have faced Saints at Magic, so you will not want to miss it! It will also be a repeat of the thrilling Betfred Challenge Cup Semi Final between the clubs at Elland Road in 2022, when Liam Marshall's spectacular try clinched victory for the Warriors and a trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. But who will take the spoils in this famous derby?

The final match on Saturday night will then see Leeds Rhinos playing at a Magic venue in their home city. They will take on an against an ambitious Warrington side, who will be ready for the challenge as they look to have a big year in 2024 under Sam Burgess. The Rhinos return to Elland Road for the first time since they switched two home Super League fixtures in 2018 when Headingley was being redeveloped, attracting a crowd of 23,246 against Castleford Tigers which remains the club's Super League record - and they also forged some lasting memories at the ground in four World Club Challenges between 2005-10. 

Rohan Smith's men have won their previous two league meetings with the Wolves, but fresh faces combined with their existing stars on either side will undoubtedly make this clash an enticing watch.

On Day 2, Sunday's action gets underway with another local rivalry from the other side of the Pennines, as the 2023 Betfred Challenge Cup winners Leigh Leopards take on Salford Red Devils. Both teams secured comfortable wins in last year's Magic Weekend, but only one side can emerge victorious this time around. Fan should expect an entertaining encounter on show, with both clubs thriving in recent seasons - and aiming big in 2024.

The runners-up in each of last year's finals will then come face to face with each other in Sunday's second match of the day - and it's Catalans Dragons taking on Hull KR. Both teams are only predicted to get stronger and stronger as they will aim to compete and contest at the top end of the table.

The Dragons have won just one of the last ten matches against their opponents, but this could all be set to change at this year's Magic, as Steve McNamara's men have clear goals of achieving their maiden Grand Final win. Therefore, every two points will be massive. Likewise, Willie Peter's Hull KR will look to build on and sustain their success, so it's bound to get feisty!

Finally, the closing match of the weekend features two West Yorkshire clubs in Huddersfield Giants and Castleford Tigers, who have both been the most consistently successful Magic performers. The Tigers have taken 20 points from their previous 15 Magic fixtures, whereas Huddersfield top the overall Magic table with 10 wins, a draw and only four defeats. It is the Giants who have won the past four meetings however, convincingly too, but in what will be this Round 22 clash, where the games are guaranteed to have a big impact as the countdown intensifies to the Play-Offs and the Grand Final - who will take the bragging rights?
