Boxing Day rugby returns to AMT Headingley Stadium on Saturday 26 December 2026, as Leeds Rhinos host Wakefield Trinity in the annual Wetherby Whaler Festive Challenge, kick-off 11.30am.

The festive friendly is a family occasion as much as a match: Father Christmas takes over the game-day proceedings, with elves, a singalong and the Great AMT Headingley Snowball Fight against the Grinch. Tickets are on sale now.
