2026 Super League standings & playoff updates

Overview

Competition for playoff positions in the 2026 Super League has intensified as Wigan Warriors extended their dominance. Following an eleventh consecutive victory, a 34-6 win over Bradford Bulls in mid-August, Wigan moved into joint-first place with Leeds Rhinos. Wigan continued their momentum with a 26-12 win over Wakefield Trinity. The defeat for Wakefield was compounded by the suspension of Jazz Tevaga and injuries to key players, leading the club to introduce overseas signings Zac Lipowicz and Emre Guler. Leigh Leopards achieved a club record in the Super League with a 62-10 win over the Bradford Bulls. St Helens kept their playoff hopes alive with a 36-12 victory over Castleford Tigers, despite captain Jackson Hastings being sent off for a punch. Most recently, Wigan Warriors reclaimed the top spot in the league with a 46-0 victory over Hull KR. Wigan further solidified their position at the top of the standings with a dominant win over the Leeds Rhinos, featuring a hat-trick from Adam Keighran. This victory follows Wigan’s recent acquisition of the League Leaders’ Shield and places them in a position to potentially secure a second consecutive treble. In the playoffs, Leigh Leopards secured their spot with a 48-10 win over a depleted St Helens side. During that match, Adam Cook signaled his intent to stay with the club by displaying a clipboard marked ‘new contract’. However, Leigh’s playoff run was halted in an eliminator by Wakefield Trinity. Despite the dismissal of Emre Guler, Wakefield secured a 40-20 victory led by Tyson Smoothy and Max Jowitt, advancing to the semi-finals to face either Wigan or Leeds. The Super League semi-final matchups have now been finalized. Leeds Rhinos, who finished the regular season in second place, are scheduled to host Warrington Wolves at Headingley Stadium.
