Magic Weekend 2026 Breaks Pre-Sale Records as Tickets Pass 25,000 Ahead of General Sale

Magic Weekend 2026 has shattered pre-sale records ahead of today’s general sale launch, with more than 25,000 tickets already secured during the season ticket holder and pre-registration priority window.

The annual festival of Rugby League returns on 4–5 July 2026 at Everton Football Club’s state-of-the-art Hill Dickinson Stadium – a brand-new venue for Magic Weekend, and one that has already earned strong approval from supporters after hosting this year’s sell-out Ashes Test.

The scale of demand during the priority window marks the biggest Magic Weekend pre-sale in the event’s history, surpassing early Magic Weekend 2025 sales by 400% and underlining the growing appetite for the sport’s most entertaining weekend of the year.

RL Commercial’s Managing Director, Rhodri Jones, said: “Surpassing 25,000 tickets before general sale shows just how much fans have embraced Magic Weekend at its new venue. Hill Dickinson Stadium offers a fantastic stage for the sport, and we are excited to deliver an unforgettable two-day celebration of Rugby League in 2026.”

Magic Weekend 2026 will once again showcase six Betfred Super League fixtures across two days of high-octane action, entertainment, and fan experiences – all at one venue. With clubs bringing strong travelling support and a stadium built for atmosphere, demand for the best seats is expected to remain high.

Tickets are now officially on general sale, with early bird pricing available for a limited time to help as many fans as possible be part of one of the sport’s most iconic weekends.
