Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup final at Wembley postponed

Drew Darbyshire

The RFL has confirmed the postponements of the Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup finals at Wembley.

The finals had been scheduled for July 18 at Wembley Stadium but it has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The RFL say their intention remains for the finals to be played later in the year – contingent on the public health situation and government advice.

The Challenge Cup had reached the sixth round stage before rugby league activity was suspended in March, while the 1895 Cup had yet to begin.

Supporters who have bought tickets for the finals are advised that they will be valid for any rearranged date – with further information available here.
