The draw for the third round of the Challenge Cup has been conducted with Super League sides entering the competition.
At the 2026 Championship launch day, the third round draw of the Challenge Cup was held with Challenge Cup-winning coach John Kear helping to conduct the draw.
With many of the round one games postponed this past weekend, the draw saw more teams in the pot with Rochdale Mayfield/Ince Rose Bridge or Swinton Lions versus Wakefield Trinity the first tie drawn out of the hat.
All Super League sides are seeded away from home with just 13 Super League clubs entering the competition. Toulouse Olympique do not compete in the Challenge Cup.
Holders Hull KR will face the winners of Brighouse Rangers or Lock Lane, a round one tie, however, the winners of that game had been slated to face Featherstone Rovers who have since been denied RFL membership.
All the ties can be seen below.
