Wakefield Trinity beat Warrington Wolves 23-10 at Old Trafford on Saturday, October 3, to win their first Super League Grand Final. The victory ended a 58-year wait for top-flight league glory and made Wakefield only the sixth club to lift the Super League trophy, according to the official competition report.

It was Wakefield’s first Grand Final appearance. The result also brought major rugby league silverware back to the city for the first time since 1968, when club legend Neil Fox helped Trinity win the championship.

Wakefield’s title is both a first Grand Final victory and the latest step in a rapid return from the Championship to the top level.

Wakefield take control before half-time

Wakefield seized control with three first-half tries from Cameron Scott, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga. Jack Sinfield added a drop goal.

  • Half-time score: Wakefield Trinity 19, Warrington Wolves 0
  • Full-time score: Wakefield Trinity 23, Warrington Wolves 10
  • Wakefield first-half tries: Cameron Scott, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga

Warrington improved after the interval. Arron Lindop scored twice, but Tom Johnstone’s try kept Wakefield out of reach. Johnstone also won the Rob Burrow Award as player of the match, as reported by Super League and Sky Sports.

A landmark night for West Yorkshire

The sold-out final drew 71,728 spectators to Old Trafford. Super League said it was the competition’s biggest Grand Final crowd since 2015.

The wider 2026 season also passed two million spectators for the first time. That puts Wakefield’s triumph inside a strong year for the domestic competition, rather than treating the final as an isolated success.

Wakefield’s rise has been swift. The club was playing in the Championship as recently as 2024. Two seasons later, Trinity had returned to Super League and reached the sport’s biggest domestic final.

Supporters celebrate across the city

Wakefield Council held a civic reception and open-top bus parade on Sunday, October 4. The celebration began at Kirkgate before moving through the city.

Wakefield Trinity’s account of the parade and Warrington Wolves’ match report reflected the contrast between the clubs’ seasons. Trinity celebrated a historic breakthrough, while Warrington ended the campaign as Grand Final runners-up.

For Wakefield, the result is more than a single score. It is a rare title won on rugby league’s biggest domestic stage, after decades of waiting and a rapid climb back into the elite competition.
