The RFL have confirmed that replacement fixtures will be scheduled in the 2026 Betfred Championship season.<\/p>\n
The replacement fixtures have been developed to ensure each club maintains their 24-game season, the solution being sought due to Featherstone Rovers not taking their place in the league in 2026.<\/p>\n
The replacement fixtures will see teams play against each other who were not due to play each other in the season, both home and away.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The confirmed replacement fixtures are follows:<\/p>\n
Halifax Panthers v Swinton Lions<\/p>\n
North Wales Crusaders v Salford RLFC<\/p>\n
Oldham RLFC v Batley Bulldogs<\/p>\n
London Broncos v Hunslet RLFC<\/p>\n
Doncaster RLFC v Barrow Raiders<\/p>\n
Widnes Vikings v Goole Vikings<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The scheduling of these fixtures will now take place, with the RFL working with clubs to utilise available weekends in the schedule to complete the full fixture list.<\/p>\n
As a result of the replacement fixtures being agreed, the league table will now revert to the traditional points per win format.<\/p>\n
