Rivals Round
Nothing Hits Harder Than Rivals Round
ARE YOU READY FOR RIVALS ROUND 2026?
Rivals Round will be back in 2026, with seven blockbuster clashes set to be played over the traditional Easter Weekend (3-5 April), and falling on Round 7.
Rivals Round - where the games mean more, hit harder and have the ability to divide towns and families. The most intense and historic rivalries will go head-to-head with huge crowds anticipated, emotions running high and everyone expected to bring their A game.
There was a remarkable feast of Rugby League in the 2025 Betfred Super League season, in a record-breaking Rivals Round – which amassed a mammoth 86,080 attendance – a new best for a six-match Super League.
Will more records be broken in 2026?
