Rugby League returns to Wembley Stadium on Saturday 7 June for an unmissable day of Cup Finals.
Fierce rivals St Helens and Wigan Warriors Women will meet in the Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup Final as the Saints look to secure a fifth consecutive Cup Final win against a Wigan side appearing in the Women’s Final for the first time in their history.
After that, Warrington Wolves and Hull KR will meet in the Men’s Betfred Challenge Cup Final for a clash 120 years in the making. Will the Robins lift their first major trophy in 40 years, or can the Wolves avenge last year’s Wembley heartbreak?
Featherstone Rovers and York Knights close out a bumper day of Cup Finals when they compete for the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup. The two sides met back in 2021 with Featherstone victorious that day. Now, they have the chance to be the first side to win the trophy twice since its inception in 2019.
For all those attending, below we have prepared some useful information. Please adhere to the guidance so we can ensure Cup Finals Day is a safe and enjoyable environment for all visitors. Fans can also visit the Wembley Stadium website for more information.
