After a clean sweep of trophies last season, Wigan Warriors are bidding for another successful campaign and are the early favourites to win a second straight Challenge Cup.
Wigan are the most successful club in Challenge Cup history with 21 wins to their name, largely thanks to their dominance in the late-1980s to the mid-1990s when they won eight titles on the bounce.
It's hard to see the Warriors being too far off this time around after a phenomenal 2024 season, though St Helens, Warrington Wolves and Hull KR should all pose significant threats to Matt Peet's side.
