2026 Wigan Warriors season

From 2026, the Super League expanded to 14 teams, with Toulouse Olympique and York Knights being promoted from the RFL Championship via the IMG Grading system.^[4] At a meeting of all twelve Super League teams at the Headingley Rugby Stadium on 28 July 2025 to vote on the expansion proposal, Wigan Warriors were the only club to abstain from voting.^[5]

Wigan's 2026 Super League fixtures were announced on 27 November 2025,^[6] with the opening round fixtures confirmed the day prior.^[7] After speculation regarding its inclusion in the 2026 calendar, Wigan's Magic Weekend fixture was confirmed on 25 November; with the event taking place at the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium in Liverpool.^[8]

Wigan's away fixture against Catalans Dragons was moved to Paris by the hosts in 2025 to celebrate 20 years of the club competing in Super League, in addition to also marking 30 years of French clubs competing in the British rugby league system.^[9][10] The match will be played as a double-header with the Super XIII 2025–2026 Grand Final.^[11]
