Holders Wigan to face Hull FC in Challenge Cup

Wigan Warriors fans celebrate their 2024 Challenge Cup victory

Holders and 21-times winners Wigan Warriors will face Hull FC at home in the fourth round of the Challenge Cup.

The new-look Black and Whites, now coached by John Cartwright, began their Super League season with a shock win away to Catalans Dragons but face the toughest proposition to progress in the cup.

Giant-killers Bradford Bulls, the Championship side who saw off Super League side Castleford Tigers in the last round, were rewarded with a trip to play troubled Salford.

Batley Bulldogs will be away to 2023 winners Leigh Leopards, while Featherstone Rovers make the journey to Perpignan to take on Catalans Dragons, who triumphed against Warrington in the 2018 final.

Oldham will also be on the road, away to Hull KR, with the ties to be played over the weekend of 15-16 March.
