London Broncos Announce 2026 Championship Fixture Schedule
The London Broncos are pleased to officially release the full fixture list for the 2026 Betfred Championship season. The 2026 campaign consists of 26 regular-season rounds, including 12 home games, 12 away games and 2 bye rounds, spanning January through August.
The Broncos will open their 2026 season on Sunday 18 January, hosting the Widnes Vikings at Cherry Red Records Stadium with a 3:00pm kick-off. The Broncos and Vikings split their games in the 2025 season, with the away team winning on each occasion. The London Broncos will look to buck that trend to start their 2026 campaign with a win. It will be the first outing for the Broncos’ new look squad who for many, will be their first competitive rugby league game in the UK.
“Coming to England is a massive opportunity and I’m buzzing to get started. The Club’s vision fired me up straight away and I can’t wait to start our season with a win at home”, said star Australian recruit Reagan Campbell-Gillard.
“The squad has already made a promising start to the preseason with the international players all well and truly acclimatised to the English winter. We’re excited to start at home and show the fans what we’ve been hard at work for”, said Head Coach Jason Demetriou.
It will also be the first opportunity for fans to be part of a revamped matchday experience beyond just 80 minutes of rugby.
“We are planning on creating a unique matchday and entertaining experience that gives both the London member and fan a reason to come and join the fun. We will be making some exciting announcements in the lead up to our first home game so stay tuned.”
said Broncos co-owner Darren Lockyer.
Most home fixtures will once again take place at Cherry Red Records Stadium, with several marquee games scheduled at alternative venues in London. These venue additions reflect the Broncos' commitment to expanding rugby league’s footprint across Greater London and neighbouring regions.
- Round 17 (21 June) vs Featherstone Rovers at The Stoop, marking a return to the Club’s heritage and delivering a major showcase fixture in one of London’s iconic rugby venues,
- Round 19 (11 July) vs Doncaster RLFC at The Kuflink Stadium, Ebbsfleet, providing a matchday experience for the growing fan base across Kent and the wider southeast.
