Seven Teams Battle for Play-off Spots as Super League Enters Final Five Rounds

Seven clubs are still alive in the race for Super League play-offs as the season narrows to its last five rounds. Leeds Rhinos lead with 36 points and aim to preserve their position through a schedule that includes matches against Leigh Leopards, York Knights, St Helens, Wigan Warriors and Hull FC. Wigan Warriors, currently on 34 points, are targeting a top-two finish to earn a home semi-final and to avenge their 2025 Grand Final loss to Hull KR.

Wakefield Trinity, holding 32 points, seek to rebound from a narrow defeat by Leeds and must secure wins against St Helens, Wigan, York, Warrington and Leigh. Both Warrington Wolves and Hull KR have six games remaining due to a rescheduled fixture, giving them additional opportunities to climb the table. Leigh Leopards, St Helens and the remaining contenders face tough end-of-season runs, with several matches against fellow play-off hopefuls. The play-off eliminators will decide the semi-finalists, leading to a Grand Final at Old Trafford on October 3, all broadcast live on one outlet.
