Wigan Warriors double-header in Challenge Cup semi-finals with full schedule confirmed
Wigan Warriors fans will be able to watch two of their teams in one venue, with the Men’s and Women’s Challenge Cup semi-finals being held at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington on Saturday, May 9.
The Warriors Women booked their place in the semi-finals thanks to a record-breaking 112-0 win over London Broncos in the quarter-finals at Edge Hall Road Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, which has set up a semi-final clash against York Valkyrie in the first of this year’s Women’s Challenge Cup semi-finals at the Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday, May 9 – 11:30am kick-off.
Denis Betts’ side will continue their defence of the Challenge Cup, which they lifted for the first time in 2025 en route to completing a historic Grand Slam, in Warrington, with the women’s semi-final to precede the Warriors Men’s semi-final against St Helens, which kicks off at 2:30pm.
The Warriors Women have made an unbeaten start to the year, having progressed through the group stages with big wins over Featherstone Rovers (6-78) and Cardiff Demons (76-6), as well as the recent 112-0 quarter-final victory over London, which was the team’s biggest ever win.
The Wigan club say a limited additional allocation of tickets for the fixture has been made available in the West Stand Terrace, supplementing the initial allocation for the men’s semi-final.
Matt Peet’s Warriors will meet Paul Rowley’s Saints in the semi-final in Warrington, having beaten Rochdale Hornets (0-83), Bradford Bulls (30-6) and Wakefield Trinity (22-26) in their Cup run so far this year.
Meanwhile, the other women’s semi-final between St Helens and Leeds Rhinos will be played at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster ahead of the men’s semi-final between Hull KR and Warrington. The women’s game will kick off at 1pm, with the men’s getting underway at 4pm.
