The 2026 Super League Dream Team has been announced, with Leeds Rhinos leading the selections with six players. The team was chosen through a weighted vote: the Man of Steel panel (50%), Rugby League journalists (30%), and fans (20%). Wigan Warriors and Leigh Leopards each have two representatives, while Wakefield Trinity, Warrington Wolves, and Toulouse Olympique have one each. Wigan's low representation comes despite securing a domestic double and chasing a treble under Matt Peet. Brad Arthur's Rhinos finished second after leading much of the season. Four players are returning Dream Team members, while nine make their debut.

Fullback Lachie Miller (Leeds) earned selection despite a season-ending hamstring injury, praised for his link-up play and pace over Wigan's Jai Field. Wingers Maika Sivo (Leeds) and Zack Eckersley (Wigan) were chosen; Sivo topped the try-scoring charts with 29 despite missing six rounds through injury, while Eckersley scored 27 tries and developed into a complete winger. Centres Ash Handley (Leeds) and Umyla Hanley (Leigh) complete the backline, with Hanley impressing in just 16 appearances.
