Super League's Rivals Round 2026 ignites Easter weekend with a cascade of iconic derbies. The 250th Hull derby between Hull FC and Hull KR opens the action on Friday, a fierce city battle where the Robins and Black and Whites will fight for supremacy in the only intra-city rivalry. This match carries immense weight as Hull KR, reigning Super League and World champions, seek to maintain their dominance against a motivated Hull FC. The weekend continues with the St Helens vs Wigan Warriors clash, a fixture dating back to 1895 and dubbed the "derby of the century." Both sides enter needing a win after recent losses, promising a volatile encounter fueled by local pride and academy talent.

Later, the Bradford Bulls vs Leeds Rhinos derby returns for the first time since 2014, a Yorkshire grudge match set against a packed Odsal crowd. Leeds, currently strong, aim to assert their status as the area's dominant force, while Bradford seek to reignite their rivalry charge. Closing the round, Castleford Tigers vs Wakefield Trinity delivers another West Yorkshire derby, a battle steeped in history including Wakefield's 2006 relegation of Castleford, with both teams looking to build on recent form.
