Super League Grand Final Rugby Staying at Old Trafford

Rugby League Commercial and Manchester United have announced a three-year agreement that will keep Old Trafford as the home of the Super League Grand Final until at least 2027.

Other than the Covid-affected 2020 season, Old Trafford has hosted every Grand Final since its inception in 1998. It also hosted the Rugby League Premiership final and Super League Premiership final between 1987 and 1997.

“It’s perfect timing for us to be able to confirm this extension of Super League’s partnership with Manchester United ahead of Saturday’s Grand Final, as we look forward to another fantastic occasion at Old Trafford this weekend with our biggest Grand Final crowd for at least seven years,” said Rhodri Jones, the managing director of RL Commercial.

The 2024 event will take place on October 12 with the Wigan Warriors and Hull KR clashing in the 27th Super League Grand Final.

“We are proud to continue the tradition of hosting the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford for another three years,” said Collette Roche, chief operating officer at Manchester United. “It is always a special event in the national sporting calendar and this weekend will be particularly poignant with tributes being paid to the late Rob Burrow and so many other Rugby League legends.”
