Magic Weekend 2026: Fixtures, venue, timings, form as Super League takes over Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium

With Super League heading to a brand new venue, make sure to catch up on all you need to know ahead of Magic Weekend 2026...

First held in 2007, Magic Weekend sees 12 of Super League's 14 clubs descend on a single venue to play an entire round of fixtures over two days.

Taking place on the weekend of July 4 and 5 this year, there will be three fixtures played on each day, one after the other. The French fixture between Catalans Dragons and Toulouse Olympique will also take place on Saturday July 4 but from Stade Pierre Fabres in Castres from 8pm.

With that move, it marks the first time that all fixtures have not been hosted at the same venue.

The format has proven so popular that it has been copied around the world, most notably in Australia where the NRL hold a four-day Magic Round at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium each year.

Magic Weekend once again has a new home in 2026 as it heads to Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on Liverpool's waterfront.

It is not the first time the venue has hosted rugby league after it was the venue for the second Ashes clash between England and Australia in the autumn.

After a move to Leeds' Elland Road in 2024, Magic returned to Newcastle's St James' Park in 2025.

From 2021-2023, Magic Weekend had been played at Newcastle, which also hosted Magic Weekend from 2015-2018.

Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Murrayfield in Edinburgh, Etihad Stadium in Manchester and Liverpool's home ground of Anfield are the other former hosts.
