2026 Challenge Cup Final

Returning to Wembley for another Challenge Cup Final with Wigan Warriors, ELEV8 delivered a landmark matchday experience as both the men’s and women’s teams entered the final as reigning champions, creating a historic double-header occasion.

The day proved memorable on and off the pitch. In the Women’s Final, Wigan delivered the highest-scoring women’s match ever played at Wembley with ten tries, while the men secured a record-breaking 22nd Challenge Cup title.

ELEV8 played a central role in shaping the live entertainment and stadium experience, overseeing large-scale creative and production elements throughout the event. The men’s final opened with the iconic voice of Laura Wright performing the traditional Abide With Me alongside the RAF College Band, setting the tone for a powerful pre-match moment.

At half-time, ELEV8 transformed Wembley with a high-energy performance led by TikTok star Michael Aldag, supported by more than 300 pitchside dancers from Join The Momentum, delivering a visually striking stadium spectacle designed to energise the crowd and elevate the matchday atmosphere.
