Challenge Cup Final moved to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

It will be the first time it has moved venues since the 'new' Wembley reopened in 2007.

Tottenham's ground, which reportedly cost £1bn, was due to host an Ashes Test match last year.

The 2022 Betfred Challenge Cup Final will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday May 28 – the first to be played in May since St Helens beat Wigan in Cardiff in 2004.

It comes as the RFL announced a two-year extension to Betfred’s partnership with the Men’s, Women’s and Wheelchair Challenge Cups, before a return to Wembley Stadium in 2023.

Betfred Challenge Cup Final tickets for 2022 are now on sale at eticketing.co.uk/rugbyleague and fans can take advantage of an Early Bird offer of £5 off every ticket, with prices starting from only £25 Adults and £10 Under 16s.

Daniel Levy, chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, said: “We are delighted to bring yet another major sporting event to our stadium. The Challenge Cup Final is a game that is steeped in history and we are proud to now be a part of that, while further establishing our stadium as a leading sports and entertainment destination in London.”
