\n The Wire have confirmed that, for the fourth year in a row, Leigh Leopards will travel to The Halliwell Jones Stadium for a trial fixture.\n<\/p>\n
\n The match, which will be both sides’ final run-out before the competitive action starts, will take place on Friday, January 30, kick off 7.30pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n Tickets are available now with prices starting at \u00a320 for adults, \u00a315 for concessions and \u00a35 for juniors while under 12s go free with a paying adult. 2026 season members will be entitled to a discounted ticket.\n<\/p>\n
\n Leigh have emerged victorious in each of the past two January meetings between the sides, with Warrington winning back in 2023 in a match that became more synonymous for Josh McGuire’s sending-off to start an ill-fated spell with the club.\n<\/p>\n
\n Warrington had already been confirmed as facing Widnes Vikings in another home friendly on Friday, January 9, but Leigh do not have any other pre-season matches on their schedule.\n<\/p>\n
\n Both sides will enter the Challenge Cup at the third-round stage the weekend after their pre-season meeting, with the Super League campaign getting underway the following weekend.\n<\/p>\n
\n The two neighbours will now meet at least four times at various points in 2026 following confirmation of the friendly – Leigh will return to The Halliwell Jones Stadium in Round Seven on April 4 while Wire will travel to Leigh Sports Village for Round 20 on July 25, with the sides also meeting at Magic Weekend on Saturday, July 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wire have confirmed that, for the fourth year in a row, Leigh Leopards will travel to The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":317755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-317754","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-rugby","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/317755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
