St Helens v Wigan Warriors: Sold-out signs go up for this year's Good Friday derby
This year’s Good Friday derby between St Helens and Wigan Warriors has officially sold out, with a capacity crowd expected for the mouthwatering clash at the BrewDog Stadium after both clubs sold their ticket allocations.
Each year, the Good Friday debut between St Helens and Wigan alternates in venue between the pair’s home grounds. This year will see Paul Rowley’s Saints host Matt Peet’s Warriors at the BrewDog Stadium, which holds a capacity of 18,000.
And the welcome news has arrived that the derby has seen the sold-out signs go up two weeks in advance of gameday.
Super League confirmed the news of the sell-out via social media on Wednesday afternoon. An official crowd figure has not yet been given, but it is expected to be as close to 18,000 as possible.
An exact crowd of 17,980 have previously watched the Saints-Wigan derby at the BrewDog Stadium six times previously in Super League – 2012, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2024 and 2025. All those, with the exception of last season, came in Good Friday derbies. The sold-out crowd last year came in September, when Wigan won 18-4 as Peet’s side later went on to reach their third straight Super League Grand Final.
St Helens and Wigan will go head-to-head at least three times in 2026 – on Good Friday in St Helens, at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium as part of Magic Weekend in July and then later that month at the Brick Community Stadium in Wigan. That could extend to four or five games, should they meet in either the Challenge Cup semi-finals or Super League play-offs.
