The 80th Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium is set to be an historic event, with Leigh and Hull KR battling it out for the prestigious trophy.

Both teams are hoping to end their respective droughts, with Leigh aiming to win for the first time in 52 years, while Hull KR is looking to be crowned cup kings after a 43-year wait.

This final also marks a significant change, as it is the first in 37 years to not feature rugby league powerhouses Wigan, St Helens, Warrington, or Leeds.

This brings a refreshing twist to the game's calendar and adds excitement to the occasion.

The milestone of 80 Wembley finals is truly remarkable and showcases the rich history of the Challenge Cup.

Additionally, this year's final will also witness the first-ever women's final, featuring Leeds Rhinos and St Helens, making it a truly memorable day of showpiece matches.
