The RFL have confirmed the latest schedule for the Challenge Cup, including the rearranged sixth round tie between Castleford Tigers and Hull FC.
That tie, due to take place today, was postponed after 12 Hull players tested positive for coronavirus after their match with Salford Red Devils.
That tie will now take place on 13th September, at 3pm. The venue is yet to be confirmed.
The BBC have selected two Quarter Finals for broadcast. The first will see Warrington Wolves take on St Helens at 2.30pm on 19th September and then the tie between Castleford Tigers/ Hull FC and Wigan Warriors will kick off at 5pm.
Once again, venues are yet to be confirmed. They are set to be confirmed as soon as possible.
Details for the remaining ties are also yet to be confirmed.
Mark Foster, the RFL’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Flexibility has been key throughout the various challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic to all sport this year, and the Coral Challenge Cup is no exception.
“We are grateful to our sponsors, to the BBC, and to the clubs involved for recognising the need for that flexibility, as we all work towards providing the best possible climax for the game’s historic knockout competition, in the sport’s 125th year.”
