2020 Challenge Cup Betting Odds
The Challenge Cup is the biggest knockout rugby league competition in the English game, with the season having been suspended until 17 July and there was then an announcement that the 2020 Challenge Cup would resume on 22 August.
The 2020 Challenge Cup will take place from Saturday 17 October onwards, with ten rugby league teams remaining in the competition and there are lots of Challenge Cup betting markets available for punters to enjoy.
When Does the 2020 Challenge Cup Resume?
We have a last sixteen match on 22 August in the form of Catalan Dragons v Wakefield Trinity and this game will take place at the John Smith’s Stadium, although the other game for that round is Castleford Tigers v Hull FC and that match has been postponed.
The Challenge Cup quarter finals will take place between 19-20 August and that will include Leeds Rhinos v Hull KR and Warrington Wolves v St Helens which is clearly the pick of the last eight matches. Wigan Warriors will play the winner of the clash between Castleford and Hull, while Salford Red Devils will go up against Catalan Dragons or Wakefield Trinity.
We’re expecting the Challenge Cup semi-finals to take place on 3 October 2020 before we get to the Challenge Cup final on 17 October 2020 and that is scheduled to take place at Wembley Stadium.
