Wakefield Trinity stun Wigan to reach first Grand Final

Wakefield Trinity dismantled Wigan Warriors 33-6 in the Super League semi-final at the Brick Community Stadium to reach their first ever Grand Final.

The result ended Wigan's pursuit of a treble this season, denying the hosts a place in the sport's showpiece fixture on their own turf.

Trinity now travel to Old Trafford next Saturday to face Warrington, who have made it through to the final from the other side of the play-off draw.

The scale of the achievement is underlined by Wakefield's recent history. Just two years ago the club were playing in the Championship, the second tier of English rugby league, before working their way back to Super League and now, remarkably, to the sport's biggest domestic occasion.

According to Guardian Rugby League's Aaron Bower, who reported from the Brick Community Stadium, the win ranks among the club's greatest performances, a seismic upset delivered against a Wigan side that had been targeting silverware across multiple competitions this season.

For Wigan, the defeat brings an abrupt halt to that wider ambition and will prompt scrutiny of how a team built for sustained success in 2026 was so comprehensively beaten at home in a semi-final.

For Wakefield, attention turns instead to preparation for Old Trafford, where they will face a Warrington side already through to the final, in a Grand Final appearance that would have seemed implausible from their Championship days only two seasons ago.
