Academy Grand Final: St Helens versus Wigan Warriors confirmed

St Helens will host Wigan Warriors at the Totally Wicked Stadium next Wednesday night (25 September) in the 2024 Academy Grand Final (7:30pm kick-off).

Saints secured their place in a third consecutive Academy Grand Final with a 28-8 win against Hull FC last night, while Wigan will play in their first Grand Final since 2019 by beating Warrington Wolves 22-16.

Both clubs are renowned for the quality of their junior development, and their Semi Final victories featured a number of players who have already made an impact at senior Super League level, with Jack Farrimond impressing for Wigan, and Harry Robertson partnering George Whitby at half-back for Saints.

St Helens will be aiming to retain the title they won last year with a Grand Final victory over Warrington, while Wigan’s last Grand Final win was against Saints in 2019.

Entry will be free for Saints Members, with general admission costing £5 for adults, £3 for concessions and £2 for under-16s.

Tickets are available in advance online - or supporters wishing to pay on the day can do so at the turnstiles via contactless payments only.

Turnstile 1-9 in the South West section and Turnstiles 10-14 in the South East will be open for supporters from 6:30pm before the 7:30pm kick-off.
