Wakefield Trinity won a maiden Super League title by beating Warrington Wolves in the 2026 Super League Grand Final.
Daryl Powell's men deserved their victory as they completed a remarkable bounce-back from their 2023 relegation.
Warrington's curse continues, with their wait for a title now at 72 years and counting. They have lost all five Grand Finals they have featured in.

Super League format
Each team plays one home and one away fixture against every other team in the league, with a 27th fixture reserved for Magic Weekend. Two points are awarded for a win with one for a draw.
If a match ends in a draw after 80 minutes, then a further 10 minutes of golden point extra-time is played to determine a winner. The first team to score either a try, penalty goal or drop goal during this period will be declared the winner.
However, if there are no further points scored after 10 minutes, the match will be deemed a draw.

Super League history
Super League started back in 1996, with 12 founding teams moving the sport from a winter league to a summer one.
Only five of those teams remain in the competition today, with Castleford, Leeds, St Helens, Warrington and Wigan all still competing at the highest level.
Twenty-four teams have competed in Super League since its inception, but only six have won the title - with St Helens, Leeds, Wigan, Bradford Bulls, Hull KR and most recently Wakefield Trinity lifting the famous trophy.
Plenty of teams have come and gone as they try to succeed in the 14-man code in England.
St Helens are considered the most successful team in Super League history, winning 10 titles since the inaugural campaign.
