The Betfred Challenge Cup Sixth Round draw will be held on Monday 14 March at 6.45pm, and broadcast live from Elland Road, Leeds, on BBC Look North and BBC Sport Online.
Joining the BBC’s Tanya Arnold for the draw will be Great Britain legend Lee Crooks and the Royal Navy’s Ben Taylor – known to many Rugby League fans as ‘Yorkshire Prose’ for his distinctive style of poetry on social media.
Crooks helped Hull FC defeat Widnes 18-9 in the famous Challenge Cup Final replay at Elland Road in 1982, while Taylor was part of the Royal Navy team which this year reached the Fourth Round of the competition for the first time in their history.
11 Betfred Super League teams will go into the hat for the first time in this year’s competition, alongside this weekend’s four Round Five winners, and Bradford Bulls and Leigh Centurions, whose Round Five match kicks-off one hour after Monday evening’s draw.
Sixth Round fixtures will be played on the weekend of March 25-27, followed by Quarter Finals on 9 and 10 April, and the Semi Finals at Elland Road itself on Saturday 7 May – part of a Rugby League triple-header alongside the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup Final. Tickets are available online now from only £25 Adults and £12.50 Concessions/Under 16s.
