Super League final round to settle Shield and play-off race
Wigan Warriors hold the advantage in the League Leaders’ Shield race, while third place and a home play-off remain contested.
The final round of the Betfred Super League regular season will decide the League Leaders’ Shield and several key play-off positions, with the season scheduled to conclude on Friday, 11 September 2026.
Wigan Warriors are in pole position after defeating Leeds Rhinos 40–8 in their top-of-the-table meeting. A win over Catalans Dragons would secure the Shield for Wigan.
Leeds can still claim the trophy, but only if they defeat Hull FC and Wigan lose to Catalans. The Shield is scheduled to be presented on Friday evening.
Third place will also be decided in the final round. Warrington Wolves can secure the position and a home play-off by beating Toulouse Olympique, while Wakefield Trinity can overtake them by defeating Leigh Leopards if Warrington lose.
Leigh, currently fifth, could move into fourth with a sufficiently large win, although the required margin is not specified in the source material. Hull KR can rise from sixth to fifth if they defeat St Helens and Leigh lose.
The decisive fixtures are scheduled to be played simultaneously. Sky Sports lists coverage across Main Event, Sky Sports Mix, Sky Sports+ and Multiview.
