Everton Stadium to host Magic Weekend

**Everton will play host to the Super League’s Magic Weekend 2026.**

The annual celebration is set to take place on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5 with all 12 of the league’s homegrown clubs playing across two days.

Among the highlights are champions Hull KR facing off against city rivals Hull FC while Wigan Warriors and St Helens will be forming the finale fixture.

Hill Dickinson Stadium has already staged prestige a rugby league fixture after the success of this month’s Ashes Test between England and Australia.

It is the third prestige event which will be held at Bramley-Moore Dock following the Ashes fixture and the [upcoming Euro 2028 fixtures](https://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/everton-fc/61493-everton-stadium-to-stage-five-euro-2028-games/).

Everton CEO Angus Kinnear said: “We are incredibly proud to be welcoming Magic Weekend to Hill Dickinson Stadium so soon after the outstanding success of the Ashes Test earlier this month.

“Hosting a sell-out crowd for the first major non-football event in our new home was a landmark moment for the club, and a powerful demonstration of what this stadium and our city can deliver.

“With world-class facilities for players, officials and fans, superb sightlines, and an expansive plaza that lends itself perfectly to large-scale fan experiences, our waterfront home is the ideal location for Magic Weekend.

“We look forward to welcoming supporters from across the Rugby League community next July and showcasing, once again, the energy, ambition and hospitality that make Hill Dickinson Stadium and our city region such a special destination for major events.”

Everton season ticket members will be contacted directly with details of a special sales process giving them exclusive access to purchase a limited number of discounted tickets for this historic two-day event.

All other supporters, including non-season ticket members are encouraged to register interest via superleague.co.uk, ahead of tickets going on sale later in 2025.

Rhodri Jones, RL Commercial Managing Director, added: “With memories still fresh of an unforgettable occasion for the Ashes Test, we’re delighted to be able to confirm a return to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the 2026 Betfred Super League Magic Weekend.

“This will be the seventh venue to stage Magic since it was introduced as a new concept for sport in 2007, and our clubs, players and supporters are in for a treat.

“It’s a stunning stadium with outstanding facilities at all levels, and also superbly located for summer on the waterfront, and with the many and varied attractions of Liverpool within easy reach.

“We’re looking forward to elevating our fan experience with a range of hospitality offers which proved so popular for the international, and the Budweiser Plaza outside the stadium is perfect for Magic.”
