Wakefield Trinity beat Warrington Wolves 23-10 in the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford on 3 October 2026, the Super League site and the Guardian report.
History. 3 of 8. Leeds in 1961 and 2004 and Hull KR in 2025 won. Leeds in 1998 and Warrington four times lost.
Hunch. Warrington finished third this season, and every side in these finals that ended its wait had finished top of the table.
The title market resolves on the official result of the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford on 3 October 2026: YES if Warrington Wolves win, including after extra time. If the result page is slow, the BBC Sport and Guardian match reports that evening settle it.
We looked for cases where a British rugby league side that had waited more than 20 years for a league title, and had already lost a title final in that wait, played in another final. We found eight since 1961, and three were won. All three winners had finished top of the table. Four of the eight finals were Warrington's.
