Ahead of the Super League Grand Final between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR, on October 11 at Old Trafford, we take you through everything you need to know…
When and where is the 2025 Super League Grand Final?
The Grand Final is taking place on Saturday October 11, 6pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports, with the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ Old Trafford once again the host venue for the blockbuster event.
Starting back in 1998, the Grand Final has always taken place at the home of Manchester United, with 10 different teams having competed for the trophy.
St Helens, Wigan Warriors, Bradford Bulls, Leeds Rhinos, Hull FC, Catalans Dragons, Salford Red Devils, Castleford Tigers, Warrington Wolves, and Hull KR have experienced walking out of the tunnel but not all these teams have won it.
Indeed, only Wigan, Saints, Bradford, and Leeds have lifted the coveted trophy, the rest of Super League daring to dream they can one day join that very small list.
Super League Grand Final teams – treble-chasers vs three-peat hopefuls
Is there any more fitting finale to the season than a battle between first and second?
Craven Park erupted as Hull KR lifted the trophy after being crowned League Leaders’ Shield winners
Hull KR were the consistent force in 2025, picking up the League Leaders’ Shield and the Challenge Cup to stand on the verge of a history-making treble.
However, Wigan Warriors have once again come good at exactly the right point of the season, are vastly experienced in these huge moments and are now going for their third Grand Final victory in a row.
The club’s many achievements are etched in rugby league history, and they are contesting their 14th Grand Final, seven wins on the biggest of stages already under their belt.
History-chasers vs history-makers: A battle to remember.
Who are the favourites?
Highlights from the Super League semi-final between Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards.
What a difficult question this is to answer in 2025! This is one final where many will be saying you just absolutely cannot call it.
Having faced off twice this year in Super League, it is one win apiece – and away from home, too.
Wigan have been electric of late through the trusted and game-changing Jai Field and Bevan French, those two players offering points of difference that cannot be coached.
Jai Field and Bevan French combined beautifully to give Wigan the lead over Leigh just before half-time.
However, Hull KR have been the standard bearers in 2025, combining the steeliest defence with a silky attack.
Is it going to be an occasion on which experience tells? Or now that Hull KR have trophies in the cabinet, is this the time for them to become the fifth winners.
Wigan Warriors vs Hull KR: Head-to-head record
Previous meetings in 2025:
April 11 – Hull KR 12- 28 Wigan Warriors
August 15 – Wigan Warriors 6-10 Hull KR
Who are the previous winners?
Like we said earlier, there have been four teams who have kept a tight grip on the trophy…
What is the player of the match trophy?
Rob Burrow CBE’s father, Geoff Burrow, presents Wigan Warriors’ Bevan French with the newly named Rob Burrow Award after the Australian was named Player of the Match in their Grand Final win against Hull KR.
Known as the Harry Sunderland Trophy from 1998 until 2023, the 2024 Grand Final saw the first Rob Burrow Award presented to the player of the match. Bevan French was the inaugural winner after his game-breaking display for Wigan Warriors.
It was previously named after Sunderland who was a rugby league administrator both in the UK and Australia but the Rugby Football League Association announced in February that the player of the match award would be renamed to honour the late, great Leeds Rhinos No 7 and MND campaigner.
Bevan French uses some individual brilliance to open the scoring for Wigan Warriors to give his side the lead against Hull KR in the Super League Grand Final.
Burrow was the first player to win the Harry Sunderland trophy twice and now the award is named after the rugby league legend as a “show of our gratitude to Rob for being the player he was.”
John Innes sings a special performance of Nessun Dorma to pay tribute to former Leeds Rhinos player Rob Burrow ahead of the Rhinos’ match against Wakefield Trinity at Headingley.
The list of winners is littered with big rugby league names and a lot of legends…

Week 6 NFL QB Power Rankings: Can Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield break into top five? Raiders’ Geno Smith plummets
1 He may not have gotten the best of the rival Patriots in a surprise Week 5 defeat, putting the ball in harm's way a bit more than usual as of late. But he's still the NFL's most trustworthy playmaker at the position this side of Patrick Mahomes.2 This guy's a machine out there. Yes, we've seen before Goff can be shaken with steady pressure, but that's most quarterbacks. Ever since a slow Week 1, he's been on the money, now leading the NFL with 12 scoring strikes. (+2)3 Resting up on the Packers' bye in Week 5, Love may have had a scarily sloppy finish to Green Bay's last outing, an overtime tie, but when asked to heave it as Matt LaFleur's signal-caller, he's been electric, averaging 8.3 yards per toss. (+3)4 Los Angeles is 2-2, coming off a surprise […]

Inside the Phillies’ home clubhouse, where they hope to return: Who sits where — and why?
After the boos rippled through Citizens Bank Park on Monday night, the Phillies were left with silence.It filled the clubhouse. Some players sat alone at their lockers. A few pitchers quietly chatted in the corner. Others tried to navigate the hordes of media surrounding teammates. It might have been the last game the Phillies’ roster, as currently constructed, spent in their home clubhouse together. Trailing the Dodgers 2-0 in the National League Division Series, the Phillies’ season could be over as soon as Wednesday evening in Los Angeles.Advertisement“It could be the last time this group gets to play together,” Alec Bohm said after Monday’s devastating 4-3 loss in Game 2. “The whole, full 26-man roster, for sure. But the core group, I think it would just be best if we go out and just enjoy, possibly, the last time we […]
Adrian Wojnarowski launching YouTube series to help fund St. Bonaventure basketball NIL efforts

GarrabrantWoj bomb!St. Bonaventure men’s basketball general manager Adrian Wojnarowski is returning to media by hosting a new series called “The Program with Woj.” This is not a precursor to returning to an insider role, but rather a way to raise money for the school’s NIL, which the vast majority of the revenue will go toward.AdvertisementThe weekly series will appear on YouTube, where Wojnarowski will interview big-name team builders using his vast contacts from his decades in sports media and first year in the front office.“I’m learning a lot in this GM role at St. Bonaventure and want to explore my new world with a lot of the innovative team-building minds in sports,” Wojnarowski told The Athletic. “My financial motivation with […]
Půl milionu za hodinu. Ronaldo se stal prvním fotbalovým miliardářem
Finanční experti renomované agentury Bloomberg, kteří podrobně prozkoumali Ronaldovy kariérní výdělky, investice a reklamní smlouvy a upravili je o aktuální daňové sazby, ohodnotili jeho čisté jmění na 1,04 miliardy liber (29,5 miliardy korun). Na svůj seznam miliardářů zahrnul Bloomberg Ronalda poprvé.Čtyřicetiletý Portugalec má doživotní smlouvu se společností Nike, která má údajně celkovou hodnotu 745 milionů liber (přes 21 miliard korun). Kontrakt má také se značkami Tag Heuer, Armani, PokerStars, Samsung, Unilever, Louis Vuitton a mnoha dalšími.Mezi sportovce-miliardáře ale vynesla Ronalda především smlouva v saúdskoarabském Al-Nassru, kde vydělává neuvěřitelných 300 liber za minutu (8500 korun). Za každou hodinu mu tedy naskočí na účet přes půl milionu korun, za den je pak bohatší o 12,2 milionu korun. Portugalec navíc vlastní podíl v samotném klubu, což ještě více zvyšuje jeho už tak astronomické jmění.Víc než lukrativní příjmy v Saúdské Arábii je však pro Ronalda portugalská reprezentace.
