What are the main dates for our diaries in 2026?

There’s lots to look forward to in 2026 as well as your club’s regular season home and away fixtures!

Super League 2026 kicks off on Thursday 12 February for Round 1, and love is in the air with seven spectacles set to take place over Valentine’s Weekend.

A fantastic February is in store, with the Betfred World Club Challenge back on English soil for a second-year running, as Super League Champions Hull KR host NRL Premiers Brisbane Broncos in a ‘Clash of the Champions’ at the MKM Stadium in Hull (Thursday 19 February).

This cross-hemisphere showdown will be the first-ever World Club Challenge fixture hosted in Hull, as the Robins and Broncos battle it out to be crowned the world’s best Rugby League club side. 

And the event is officially SOLD OUT. 24,600 spectators will be there to witness the world’s best talent on show, in what has been the fastest selling World Club Challenge ever!

If you haven’t got a ticket, your only way to watch the game live at the moment is on Sky Sports. 

We also know that Hull KR will then meet Leeds Rhinos in Las Vegas the following weekend (28 February), as the Betfred Super League - alongside the NRL - returns to Allegiant Stadium as part of the Rugby League in Las Vegas.

The Robins and Rhinos will follow in Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves’ footsteps in the Entertainment Capital of the World – so it’s busy month for the 2025 treble-winners, who have agreed to switch their home fixture against the Rhinos to feature at the showcase event.

Super League's representatives will be joined by four of the NRL's big-hitters in Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Newcastle Knights, St George Illawarra Dragons and North Queensland Cowboys!

All three matches will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, as a glimpse of Super League is once again set to be showcased in a dazzling Vegas.

This is followed by a cracking Easter Weekend with Rivals Round in April, before Betfred Challenge Cup Finals Day returns to Wembley Stadium at an earlier date of Saturday 30 May.

The competition is already in full swing, but which teams will reach the national stadium in 2026?

Then, the Super League will return to where it all began as Catalans Dragons will celebrate their 20th anniversary of competing in the competition by taking a game to the French capital, Paris.

The Dragons will host Wigan Warriors on Saturday 6 June at the Stade Jean Bouin - the home of Stade Français and Paris FC.

This also celebrates 30 years since the very first Super League fixture contested by Paris St Germain and Sheffield Eagles on French soil.

This follows the two sides relocating their 2019 meeting to Barcelona FC’s Camp Nou where a regular season Super League record was set with 31,555 supporters in attendance.

Tickets and travel options are available on both clubs’ websites!

Everyone’s favourite weekend is here to STAY in 2026, and the adored Magic Weekend has a new home this year - Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.

The Summer Festival of Rugby League heads to Everton’s new state-of-the-art facilities for the very first time, providing the perfect venue for one of Rugby League’s most beloved events.

For Magic WKND 2026, we will be taking rivalries on the road with Super League’s fiercest clashes taking place over two days.

Find out more and get your tickets here, but hurry as they are selling FAST, with over 50,000 tickets already snapped up! Who's ready for a record-breaking Magic?

Then, as we make our way towards the business end of the season, Rivals Round is reversed in Round 20 – with another bumper weekend of clashes to revel in.

And as we enter the Final Charge and pulsating Play-Off territory, the Theatre of Dreams awaits, with the Super League Grand Final bringing the curtain down on another blockbuster year.

Information and tickets for Rugby’s League biggest night are available here.

Expects fireworks all year round!
