Super League votes to add two clubs and return to 14-team competition for 2026
The Super League has voted to add two clubs and return to a 14-team competition starting in 2026. The decision was made during a meeting of top-flight clubs in Leeds on Monday, where they discussed a strategic review of the professional game led by Nigel Wood, the former chief executive of the Rugby Football League. The expansion will see Bradford Bulls and Toulouse promoted to the Super League, marking a significant change in the competition's structure. The move aims to strengthen the league and provide more opportunities for clubs and players. However, the decision to bring back Nigel Wood, who was previously paid over £300,000 to leave the RFL, has raised some questions about the transparency and decision-making processes within the sport's governing body.
