Challenge Cup quarter-final schedule locked in as broadcast details confirmed

The BBC will show both Hull KR v York and Wakefield v Wigan in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals, with schedule and broadcast details now confirmed.

Cup holders KR will host Super League new boys York at Craven Park on Saturday, April 11 (1.30pm KO), and that tie will be shown live on BBC Two.

It’ll be a chance for retribution for the Robins, who lost their Super League opener away against the Knights last month.

Then, on Sunday, April 12, Wigan’s trip to Wakefield will then be shown on BBC One (1pm KO).

The Warriors are 21-time Challenge Cup winners and have lifted the famous old trophy more than any other club, with Trinity’s most recent triumph in the competition coming back in 1963.

During half-time of that clash at Belle Vue on the Sunday afternoon, the draw for the Challenge Cup semi-finals will also take place, the Rugby Football League (RFL) have confirmed.
