Super League 2025 loop fixtures as Magic Weekend date emerges

Super League will once again have loop fixtures in 2025 despite IMG’s initial plans to remove them and that also means Magic Weekend remains.

A move to Elland Road in 2024 led to Magic Weekend registering the second-lowest attendance in its history, with day two’s total crowd of 22,293 being the lowest-ever single-day figure.

However, plans remained for it to return in 2025 as one of the five loop fixtures that each side plays in Super League and now further details have emerged.

After indications that the August Bank Holiday weekend could be in play with a return to Newcastle eyed up, an earlier date of May 3rd and 4th has now emerged with bookmaker Sky Bet pricing games up and dating them all on May 3rd.

Obviously, those six matches will end up being split across the two days but it’s a strong suggestion that Magic will take place that weekend, something that has also been reported by Yorkshire Live.

Every Super League side knows who they will take on at Magic Weekend but based on previous seasons, their other four loop fixtures can be predicted.

Every Super League club’s loop fixtures for 2025

Magic Weekend takes the formula in which the previous season’s results determine the fixtures so every odd-placed team in Super League will play another odd-placed team. For example, champions Wigan Warriors, who finished first, will take on Warrington Wolves after the Wire placed third.

That is then replicated down the table with the fifth facing the seventh and the ninth facing the eleventh. The same goes for the even numbers with the only difference being that promoted Wakefield Trinity assume the twelfth position, setting them up for a derby with tenth-placed Castleford Tigers. All Magic Weekend games can be found here.

Regular loop fixtures have traditionally taken that same formula meaning that the additional games each Super League side will play in 2025 can be predicted.
