The 2026 World Club Challenge will proceed with the Brisbane Broncos committed to traveling to the UK. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the Broncos have agreed to face Hull KR in February.
The match is expected to take place at Hull FC’s MKM Stadium, which has a capacity of 25,500—approximately twice the size of Hull KR’s home ground, Sewell Group Craven Park.
Hull KR’s participation in the 2026 Las Vegas event, where they will play Leeds Rhinos on March 1, caused concerns among organizers due to travel timing. However, the World Club Challenge is scheduled for Thursday, February 19, before the Las Vegas game.
“The Broncos have agreed to travel and face Hull KR in February,” reported The Sydney Morning Herald.
The scheduling ensures both commitments can be honored without conflict.
Summary: The 2026 World Club Challenge will proceed as planned, with Brisbane Broncos traveling to the UK and the match held at Hull FC’s larger stadium, carefully scheduled around other club commitments.
