LONDON BRONCOS will take “one significant game” to the home of Harlequins rugby union, The Stoop.
Whilst the Broncos have had a long affinity with The Stoop, playing home games there between 1997 and 1999 as well as between 2007 and 2013, their home ground is currently Wimbledon FC’s Cherry Red Records Stadium.
The Cherry Red Records Stadium will continue to host the Broncos throughout the 2026 Championship season, but The Stoop will see a London rugby league side return once more – if only for one game.
That was revealed by new director Gary Hetherington, who has left Leeds Rhinos after three decades at the helm to take up the new challenge at the Broncos.
“There is a lot going on behind the scenes. What we want to see is continued progress and development on and off the field,” Hetherington told the League Express podcast.
“That will take the full season in actual fact. I think the squad is strong, the rugby operation is strong with Jason Demetriou, Danny Ward, Mike Eccles and Dom Fenton who have been there a long time and know the club.
“We have got a great training venue at the former London Irish training base which will provide a home and training base for the club, reserves and women’s teams as well as office accommodation for the new staff.
“It’s important for London to have a home, matches will continue to be played at Wimbledon and there will be one significant game at The Stoop.”
