For MW discussion.

ticket sales going well with early sale record broken. Go on general sale today.

MORE than 25,000 tickets for next year's Magic Weekend have already been sold before going on general sale today (Monday). The event is taking place at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool for the first time, following a sell-out 52,106 crowd for the second Ashes Test between England and Australia in November. Only opened this summer, Everton

Super League champions Hull KR are the best in class so far when it comes to ticket sales for the 2026 Magic Weekend.

RL Commercial revealed on Monday morning that a pre-sale ticket record has already been smashed for Magic ahead of its move to Everton next summer. Over 25,000 tickets have already been sold – the biggest number at this stage in the event’s entire history.

That would appear to vindicate the decision to not just keep Magic in the calendar despite resistance from some clubs, but move it to the Hill Dickinson Stadium following the success of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia.

And now, Super League have publicised which five of the 14 Super League clubs are leading the sales as Christmas approaches: and as has been the case for a good while now, the Robins are top of the tree.

Their fans are travelling to games in huge numbers both home and away since their emergence as a major force in Super League. And that trend looks set to continue when Super League descends upon Liverpool next year.

They will face Hull KR in a mouthwatering derby and both clubs are inside the top five as it stands when it comes to ticket sales, with Rovers top and FC in fourth.

Second place is Matt Peet’s Wigan Warriors – with their opponents at Magic, St Helens, in third place. That is perhaps no surprise given the proximity of the town to next year’s Magic venue.

The fifth-placed club in terms of ticket sales? Another who has made huge strides with their attendances in recent years, Leigh Leopards. Adrian Lam’s side face Warrington Wolves at the event, and they look set to take a bumper crowd along to Liverpool.

After realising it'll be inly derby game I can get to I got tickets for the Sat in the HKR end. Very reasonably priced. Hopefully they do something good at the stadium area as not much around there to nip in and out to.

Hull KR and Hull FC remain top five for Super League Magic Weekend ticket sales but new club tops chart​



Super League have offered an update on which clubs have sold the most tickets for Magic Weekend, with a different club topping the chart.
The last update from Super League came back in December and announced that treble winners Hull KR had sold the most tickets for Magic Weekend, with the Robins set to face their rivals Hull FC at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Amid doubts that the showpiece event of the Super League season was to be cut given the removal of loop fixtures, Magic Weekend survived and it’s also been reinvigorated with a new stadium set to host it at Everton and the renewal of rivalry games for the event.
That’s led to incredible ticket sales with the pre-sale record broken and a 400% increase recorded as more than 25,000 tickets sold before they were even available for general sale.

The 2026 event will be unique in that Toulouse and Catalans will play away from Everton, instead facing off in the south of France at a neutral venue with the twelve UK-based Super League clubs playing across the two days at Everton.
Whilst it was announced back in December that Hull KR led the ticket sales, there’s now a new club on top and it’s another of the sides involved in one of the major derbies.
St Helens, who play Wigan Warriors on the Sunday, have sold the most tickets, as revealed by Super League with Hull KR dropping into second.

Saints and KR’s opponents, Wigan Warriors and Hull FC respectively, sit third and fourth for sales, whilst Warrington Wolves complete the top five with Wire set to face Leigh Leopards on day one.
Back in December, it was actually Wire’s opponents Leigh who sat inside the top five but they’ve been overtaken by fans of Sam Burgess’ side, who have already seen their side perform strongly in pre-season when they recorded a 50-12 win over Widnes Vikings.
