Super League in 2025 was filled with a plethora of big moments. From shock wins to one-point victories, the season was packed with memorable matches, tries and more.

We have tried to narrow down the best matches from across the year to just the top 10, and with so many to choose from, this certainly wasn’t as simple as it looks.

From the first game of the year as Leigh recorded a 1-0 victory over Wigan to Hull KR’s triumph at the Grand Final and every bit of on-field action in between, here are our picks of the ten best matches of the season just gone.

The 10 best Super League matches in 2025

Leeds Rhinos 12-14 St Helens

Whilst the first 79 minutes of the game may not have been anything out of the ordinary, the final play of the game, and the effect it had on both teams puts it right up at the top. St Helens threw 16 passes in a single play, before the ball landed in Shane Wright’s hands, as he crossed to give his side one of, if not the most dramatic play-off win in Super League history.

Jon Bennison’s try earlier in the game certainly caused controversy, but in the end it would be the Red Vee who progressed, as Leeds were defeated in their first home play-off game since 2017.

Wigan Warriors 0-1 Leigh Leopards

Whilst it isn’t on the list for it’s attacking quality, the opening game of the year saw one of the most unique score lines in the sport’s history, as Gareth O’Brien’s drop-goal sealed the win for Leigh in golden point. The result made headlines across the country, highlighting it’s rarity, and it was the perfect way to get people talking about the start of the 2025 campaign.

Salford Red Devils 25-12 Warrington Wolves

Of the few wins that Salford managed to pick up over the season, this one certainly takes it. Their victory over Warrington was a huge upset, and even through the Wolves were lacking form, winning one from their last five heading into it, they were still expected to pick up the win.

A Justin Sangare brace helped his side to the win, in a game that added to the increasing pressure on head coach Sam Burgess.

Wakefield Trinity 15-14 Leeds Rhinos

Trinity picked up their second win over Leeds of the season, and did so in spectacular fashion, with Mason Lino’s drop goal proving to be the killer blow. After losing Jake Connor to injury, Leeds couldn’t find their attacking flair and succumbed to defeat at the hands of Trinity, who needed the points to remain in their thrilling top six battle with Hull FC.

Hull FC 22-22 Leigh Leopards

Not even 10 minutes extra time could find a winner between the Black and Whites and the Leopards, who played out the competition’s only draw of the season in round four. Hull FC had two men sent to the bin, but that still wouldn’t be enough for Leigh to get over the line and secure the victory.

Wigan Warriors 48-24 Warrington Wolves

Super League headed to Las Vegas for the first time this year, and whilst the on-field competitiveness might have been lacking, with Wigan taking a 42-0 lead after 54 minutes, the spectacle itself puts it in the top 10. Seeing the competition on that stage and the vast difference in quality both from a fan and broadcast point of view was refreshing, and something the sport should be looking to achieve on a weekly basis.

As mentioned, Leeds and Hull KR are heading there in 2026, with that game set to be one of the highlights of the upcoming season.

Hull KR 8-14 Leeds Rhinos

Lachie Miller’s wonder try was all that separated these two teams, in what was a brilliant contest at a crucial juncture in the season. Heading into the game, a win would have put Leeds into the top three, whilst Hull KR needed the points to go six clear of second place Wigan.

All three meetings between the soon-to-be Las Vegas competitors were special, but Leeds’ away victory gets the nod over the Headingley match-ups.

Catalans Dragons 24-20 Wakefield Trinity

Reimis Smith’s golden point try was all that separated the sides in round nine, in a fiery contest that saw three yellow cards dished out. Luke Keary, Isaiah Vagana and Mason Lino were all sent to the sin bin, with Lino being disciplined whilst in extra time. Catalans used that to their advantage, and earned their fifth win of the league season.

Leigh Leopards 26-24 Catalans Dragons

In what was arguably the game of Magic Weekend, this game was one of the tightest of the year, with both sides going into the contest on four-game win streaks. From Ethan O’Neill’s iconic headstand celebration to Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet’s brilliant solo try, the game had everything, but it was the Leopards who took the two points at full time.

Wakefield Trinity 28-12 Hull KR

Trinity blew the eventual treble winners away with a sublime first-half performance, as they raced to a 24-0 lead at the break. Lino was superb, and controlled his team around the field.

Whilst KR weren’t in the best vein of form, their efforts were certainly a shock, and it made for more drama in the race for both the league leaders shield and the final play-off spot, with the Robins needing the win to mathematically secure top spot, whilst Wakefield needed to keep their one-point lead over Hull FC and remain in the six.
