REPLACEMENT FIXTURES CONFIRMED

The RFL have confirmed that replacement fixtures will be scheduled in the 2026 Betfred Championship season.

The replacement fixtures have been developed to ensure each club maintains their 24-game season, the solution being sought due to Featherstone Rovers not taking their place in the league in 2026.

The replacement fixtures will see teams play against each other who were not due to play each other in the season, both home and away.

The confirmed replacement fixtures are follows:

Halifax Panthers v Swinton Lions

North Wales Crusaders v Salford RLFC

Oldham RLFC v Batley Bulldogs

London Broncos v Hunslet RLFC

Doncaster RLFC v Barrow Raiders

Widnes Vikings v Goole Vikings

The scheduling of these fixtures will now take place, with the RFL working with clubs to utilise available weekends in the schedule to complete the full fixture list.

As a result of the replacement fixtures being agreed, the league table will now revert to the traditional points per win format.
