The defining date in the European rugby league calendar, this year's Super League Grand Final will mark the end of the 28th edition of the competition, pitting Wigan Warriors and Hull KR against each other after the end-of-season playoffs.
Last year's Grand Final saw top two Wigan and Catalans Dragons meet at Old Trafford, with the Warriors downing the Perpignan outfit 10-2, and they will now bid to make it successive victories against Hull.
When is the Super League Grand Final 2024?
The Grand Final between Wigan Warriors and Hull KR takes place on Saturday 12th October. An evening kick-off is scheduled, with the match due to get underway at 18:00 (BST).
Where is the Super League Grand Final 2024?
As in previous years, the Grand Final will be hosted at its traditional home of Old Trafford in Manchester.
In all years but one since its 1998 inauguration, the final Super League match of the year has taken place at the cavernous 74,000-seater venue.
Where can I watch the Super League Grand Final?
Coverage of the event can be found on Sky Sports, who are the main rights holders for the competition.
Additional coverage will also be available on Channel 4, who began sharing rights in 2022, while highlights are available on the BBC.
Who is the most successful Grand Final team?
Just as St Helens are the most successful team in Super League overall, winning top honours 10 times, they are also the most decorated side in Grand Finals – nine of their titles have come via an end-of-season match, which was introduced to the league format in 1998.
Saints have won four of the last five Grand Finals, with their other triumphs coming in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2006 and 2014.
The next best side in Grand Finals are Leeds Rhinos. Eight-time winners, 2022 saw them reach their first final in five years.
How many teams have won a Grand Final?
In total, four teams have won a Super League Grand Final. In addition to St Helens and Leeds, Wigan Warriors and Bradford Bulls have claimed victory on five and three occasions respectively.
The Warriors are poised to feature in their 12th Grand Final, one more than Leeds, behind Saints’ record of 14. Bradford follow on with six appearances in total.
Additionally, four clubs have reached Grand Finals without ever winning the trophy – with four runners-up medals, Warrington Wolves are the most high-profile example.
Castleford Tigers and Salford Red Devils have reached one final apiece, while Catalans Dragons made their second appearance in the season finale in 2023.
What happened in last year's Grand Final?
In 2023, a pair of first-half penalties sent the sides in level at half-time, before winger Liam Marshall crossed over for Wigan in the second half, scoring the game's only try, with Harry Smith converting before his third kick of the game just after the hour mark saw the Warriors run out 10-2 winners.
