July's Challenge Cup Final delayed due to Covid-19

The Challenge Cup final was due to take place in July

The RFL today confirm the postponement of the Coral Challenge Cup Final and AB Sundecks 1895 Cup Final, which had been scheduled for July 18 at Wembley Stadium.

The game's governing body says the "intention remains for the finals to be played later in the year – contingent on the public health situation and Government advice".

Supporters who have bought tickets for the finals are advised that they will be valid for any rearranged date.

The Coral Challenge Cup had reached the Sixth Round stage before rugby league activity was suspended in March, while the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup had yet to begin.

All ticket-holders for the triple header of the Coral Challenge Cup Semi Finals and Coral Women’s Challenge Cup Final, which had been due to be played at the University of Bolton Stadium on June 6, have already been informed that event has been postponed.
