World Club Challenge Set to Proceed as Brisbane Broncos Confirm UK Trip
The 2026 World Club Challenge will proceed after the Brisbane Broncos confirmed their commitment to travel to the United Kingdom. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the Broncos have agreed to face Hull KR in February.
The match is expected to take place at Hull FC’s MKM Stadium, which can host around 25,500 fans, nearly twice the capacity of Hull KR’s usual venue, Sewell Group Craven Park.
“The Broncos have agreed to travel and face Hull KR in February,” reported The Sydney Morning Herald.
Earlier concerns had arisen because Hull KR are also scheduled to play in Las Vegas in 2026, where they will meet Leeds Rhinos in a Super League match on March 1. This travel arrangement made organisers cautious about potential scheduling conflicts.
Despite these worries, the World Club Challenge is now set for Thursday, February 19, ensuring fans can look forward to an exciting international contest.
