The 2022 rugby league Challenge Cup final will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium instead of Wembley Stadium on May 28, according to the RFL.
“The RFL is happy to welcome a two-year extension to Betfred’s association with the Men’s, Women’s, and Wheelchair Challenge Cups – which will include an historic Final at the great Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in May 2022, before a return to Wembley Stadium in 2023,” according to a statement from the RFL.
“The 2022 Betfred Challenge Cup Final will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, May 28. It will be the 121st Challenge Cup Final, and the first to be held in May since St Helens defeated Wigan in Cardiff in 2004.
“It will be the first Rugby League match in the state-of-the-art, 62,850-capacity stadium – England’s third largest football stadium, which opened in April 2019 – following the cancellation of a Test match scheduled for the 2020 Ashes Series between England and Australia due to the Covid-19 outbreak.”
“In 2023, the Betfred Challenge Cup Final will be held at Wembley Stadium.”
Since the daring decision to bring the game’s greatest occasion to the city for the first time in 1929, that will be the 80th Challenge Cup Final at Wembley.”
