Barring derby day and the big events such as Magic Weekend, the annual trip to France is one of the first things that all fans will look for on Super League fixture release day.
Today is that day, and there is added excitement in the air this year, with Toulouse Olympique back in the division for the first time since 2022, meaning there is an extra overseas away day for supporters to enjoy.
Some clubs have lucked out, and got both away fixtures to France in the middle of the summer, and will be able to enjoy the hot weather. Others, haven’t been so fortunate, and will travel at the beginning of the campaign when the weather is not so nice, and will have to pack an extra layer of clothing for game day.
Here is the full list of when every Super League club will be jetting off to the south of France in 2026, now that the full set of fixtures have been revealed.
When are each Super League club’s French away days?
