Only The RFL could cock this up.
The RFL are working on three separate fixture lists for the 2026 Super League and three separate fixtures lists for the newly merged Championship competition. Clubs have been told that they will receive their fixtures for the 2026 season next week ahead of publication for supporters the following week.
The three separate Super League fixture lists being prepared include a fixture lists for the 14 clubs with no magic weekend for the 2026 season.
The other two fixture lists both include the magic weekend event taking place but the differences being one, the magic weekend takes place over one weekend and two weekends, thus creating the three different fixture lists.
The three separate Championship fixture lists currently being prepared include one set with all 21 confirmed clubs, another with 20 clubs excluding the Salford Red Devils, and a third with only 19 clubs, excluding Salford and Featherstone Rovers.
