[josie andrews]

A huge Challenge Cup tie awaits.

Hull FC have been drawn against Hull KR in the 2025 Challenge Cup quarter-final. The tie will be played at the MKM Stadium on the weekend of April 4-6.

It will be the first time the two Hull clubs have met in rugby league's most famous competition since 1986 – a whopping 39 years ago.

Before then, the two clubs featured in the classic 1980 Challenge Cup final at Wembley, with Hull KR running out 10-5 winners in the most famous match the city of Hull's two clubs have ever played.

That remains the only time KR have won the competition. Hull, meanwhile, have won it five times, most recently in 2017. They also won it in 1914, 1982, 2005, and 2016.

Elsewhere, Warrington Wolves have been drawn against St Helens. Super League newcomers Wakefield Trinity will host Leigh Leopards, with Catalans Dragons entertaining struggling Salford Red Devils.

Fixture details, including TV picks, will be confirmed in due course.

Hull will face Hull KR at the MKM Stadium two weeks after the cup tie on Good Friday.
