Warrington Wolves will return to the Wheelchair Super League
WARRINGTON Wolves are to rejoin the Betfred Wheelchair Super League.
It has been confirmed that The Wire will be back in the wheelchair game’s top flight for the 2026 as a result of a successful application.
Next year, they will compete in the Championship West as part of an expanded format to allow them an extra year to prepare for their return to Super League.
Warrington were last in the top flight in 2023, finishing bottom of the six-team league and losing all 10 of their matches.
They will compete alongside Hereford Harriers, North Wales Crusaders, Rochdale Hornets, Salford Red Devils and Widnes Vikings during the 2025 campaign.
The top flight has been expanded from six teams to eight for 2025, with Sheffield Eagles and Edinburgh Giants to enter the competition before The Wire's return the following year.
“We’d like to thank all clubs who submitted applications and whilst the competition was high, there were eight applications that were identified as particularly strong who will now compete in the Betfred Wheelchair Super League for the 2025-2027 window,” the RFL’s national inclusion manager Chris Godfrey said.
“Whilst perennial powerhouses in the sport and previous Super League teams retained their places - once again showing via the applications why they are in the elite division - new entries Sheffield Eagles, Edinburgh Giants and returning Warrington Wolves will no doubt look to add a new edge to the competition.
“I’d also like to welcome Salford Red Devils, Castleford Tigers and Batley Bulldogs into our Championship divisions which are a really important part of the competition pyramid and provide a competitive environment for teams below the Super League.”
