THERE is a new venue for Super League’s Magic Weekend in 2024 – and there is also a new name.
With Leeds United’s Elland Road hosting, the event has also undergone a rebrand this year, with Rugby League Commercial tagging Magic Weekend as ‘MAGIC WKND 2024’ instead.
Tickets will go on sale this Sunday for the 17th version of the event, which will be held on August 17-18 and see all 12 teams will gather for their round-22 matches.
RL Commercial say that the new digital expression of MAGIC WKND is “reflecting how social engagement with supporters has become an integral part of this annual Super League carnival”.
Kick-off times for each Magic fixture have now been confirmed, with Hull FC and London Broncos starting the weekend at 2.30pm on the Saturday.
That is followed by marquee clashes between Wigan Warriors and St Helens (5pm), and Warrington Wolves and Leeds Rhinos (7.30pm).
On the Sunday, Leigh Leopards and Salford Red Devils open (1.30pm), with Catalans Dragons and Hull KR playing at 4pm before the event finishes with Huddersfield Giants and Castleford Tigers (6.30pm).
