Bradford Bounce-Back Heralds New Super League Era

Love them or hate them, Bradford Bulls are a club that certainly generates opinion in rugby league circles.

The Bulls possess a unique ability to attract attention beyond traditional boundaries, making their brand recognizable, even among those who may not closely follow the sport.

After spending 11 years away from Super League-during which the club faced liquidation, rebirth, and resurgence-the Bulls are set to return to the elite level in 2026.

For supporters who have longed for top-tier action, this return is particularly meaningful. Once, the club attracted over 24,000 fans for a derby against Leeds, showcasing their ability to draw a crowd, and they will now have the opportunity to chant their name proudly again.

However, their path back was not marked by a straightforward triumph over rivals; rather, it was a remarkable resurgence witnessed by a vibrant Odsal crowd.
