New Structure for 2025 Challenge Cup : Tue Jun 25, 2024 5:08 pm  

New Structure for 2025 Challenge Cup
The Betfred Challenge Cup will have a new structure in 2025, with the 12 Super League clubs joining the Road to Wembley at the Third Round stage.

The Third Round draw will be held in January, well before the start of the Super League season, with the aim of building more momentum towards the showpiece Finals Day in June.

It means that clubs from the Betfred Championship, League One and even the community game will have more chance to secure a glamour tie at home to Super League opposition, as the Third Round draw will be seeded to guarantee each of the Super League clubs travel away to one of the 20 Second Round winners.

Yep. Its not about the crowds for SL sides, they are probably forever going to be low for the cup. So its all about getting SL clubs to help lower league clubs. Give them a bit of gate money, their fans a chance to see top players, and for SL fans a chance to see teams play against different opponents.

I think that this is great news, supports grass roots, gets SL club supporters to new grounds, and legitimises the competition.
