Super League

Challenge Cup

On 25 June 2024, the RFL announced a change to the Challenge Cup format, totalling 7 rounds compared to the previous 9, with Super League teams entering to play away from home at round 3.[35]

Warrington Wolves were first drawn on 14 January to play Whitehaven R.L.F.C. away in Round 3 following Whitehaven's subsequent Round 2 24–12 victory against the Swinton Lions on 25 January.[36] Following their victory against Whitehaven, Warrington beat the Widnes Vikings 26–16 away on 15 March,[37] qualifying them for the quarter-finals against local rivals St Helens.[38][39]

After winning 20–12 in the quarter-final, Warrington visited the Totally Wicked Stadium to play the Leigh Leopards in the semi-finals on 11 May. A 21–14 victory over Leigh qualified the Warrington Wolves to play in the 2025 Challenge Cup final at Wembley Stadium against 2023 final runners-up Hull Kingston Rovers.[40] Following a closely-contended match, however, Warrington lost the final 8-6.[41]
