Super League Magic Weekend kick-off times confirmed with Wigan Warriors v St Helens set for prime slot

The kick-off times for Super League Magic Weekend have now been announced with the Wigan Warriors and St Helens derby taking the prime slot at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium.

There was a chance that the event was to be cancelled with the removal of loop fixtures but the decision was made to keep it going and it’s a decision that has paid off massively, with record ticket sales already.

Over 70,000 tickets have been sold across the two-day event in Liverpool whilst Toulouse Olympique will take on Catalans Dragons at a neutral venue in France that’s set to be confirmed next week.

What has now been confirmed is when each game will kick off with the previous news only confirming which games would take place on which days as an update was shared by Rugby League Commercial.

A statement from Rugby League Commercial announced: “With over 70,000 tickets sold across the weekend, the festival is officially the fastest selling in the event’s 20-year history with just under two months to go.”
