Hull KR face York in Challenge Cup quarter-finals

York beat Hull KR in the opening Super League game of 2026 last month Hull KR will continue their defence of the Challenge Cup with a quarter-final at home to York Knights. Wakefield Trinity's reward for knocking out Leeds Rhinos in the last 16 is another tough home tie, this time against Wigan Warriors. St Helens will host Catalans Dragons, while Warrington Wolves - beaten finalists in the last two seasons - face 2023 winners Leigh Leopards at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Success at Wembley last June ended a 45-year wait to lift the Challenge Cup for Hull KR and was the start of a remarkable run which saw them win four trophies in eight months. But they did lose to quarter-final opponents York in the Knights' first ever Super League game last month. Wakefield last won this competition in 1963, but to reach the last four, they will have to get past record 20-time winners Wigan, who have a 100% record in all competitions in 2026.

Their impressive run of form is matched by Warrington, who face a Leigh side that is struggling in the league, while St Helens will be confident of seeing off Catalans at home to reach the last four for the first time since 2023.
