World Club Challenge Scheduled for 2026
The 2026 World Club Challenge will proceed as planned, with the Brisbane Broncos confirmed to travel to the UK for the event.
Match Details and Venue
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the Broncos will face Hull KR in February. The match is expected to be held at Hull FC’s MKM Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,500—almost twice the size of Hull KR’s home ground, Sewell Group Craven Park.
Concerns Over Scheduling
Hull KR's participation in a Las Vegas Super League game against Leeds Rhinos on March 1, 2026, had raised concerns among organizers due to travel logistics.
"Rovers’ partaking in the Las Vegas extravaganza in 2026 – where they will play Leeds Rhinos in a Super League game on March 1 – had made organisers nervous about the potential implications for the World Club Challenge."
However, the World Club Challenge is scheduled earlier, on Thursday, February 19, preventing any clash.
Summary
The 2026 World Club Challenge will occur as planned with the Brisbane Broncos travelling to Hull for a February 19 match at MKM Stadium, despite initial scheduling concerns linked to Hull KR’s Las Vegas game.
