HULL KR have been snubbed for the BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year.
Despite winning the treble – consisting of the Challenge Cup, Super League Grand Final and League Leaders’ Shield – during the 2025 campaign, Rovers have not been included in the three-team shortlist for the prestigious award.
Instead, the England Lionesses and Red Roses – the national women’s football and rugby union sides respectively – plus the European Ryder Cup golf team have made the cut.
The winner will be announced during the live show on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Thursday, 18 December.
Last year, Wigan Warriors scooped up the Sports Personality Team of the Year, but there is no room for Hull KR after their record-breaking season, nor for Wigan’s women who won all four available trophies.
Two other rugby league sides have previously won it – Wigan in 1994, and St Helens in 2006.
Meanwhile, a shortlist of six contenders has been announced for the main award, Sports Personality of the Year.
England footballers Hannah Hampton and Chloe Kelly, rugby union player Ellie Kildunne, darts player Luke Littler, golfer Rory McIlroy and Formula 1 driver Lando Norris are the nominees.
No rugby league player has ever won that prize.
