World Club Challenge Confirmed for 2026
The 2026 World Club Challenge will proceed as planned, with the Brisbane Broncos committed to travelling to the UK. The Broncos are set to face Hull KR in February.
Venue Details
The match is expected to take place at Hull FC’s MKM Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,500—nearly twice that of the Rovers’ home ground, Sewell Group Craven Park.
Scheduling Concerns
Concerns were raised due to Hull KR’s participation in the Las Vegas event in 2026, where they are scheduled to play Leeds Rhinos in a Super League game on March 1. The back-to-back travel schedule had made organisers cautious about the World Club Challenge date.
The match is set to be played on Thursday, February 19.
Despite the tight travel plans, the Broncos and Hull KR have committed to the World Club Challenge fixture.
