The Super League Grand Final 2026 is nearly here and the Sky Sports Rugby League pundits have had their say on how they think the biggest day of the season will unfold... Who will win the Super League Grand Final 2026? It is so difficult to pick and it is very much a 50/50, but I will go with Warrington.

After a pretty scrappy performance in the semi-final, I believe they'll be much improved for the final.

The final is special because we have teams that finished third and fourth battling it out at Old Trafford.

That has never been done before. I think Matty Ashton will pick up the Rob Burrow award. I fancy him for a long-range try this week.

It feels special because this time of year we have always had one of the big guns in the final. The Wakefield story feels special, Warrington's pain and remarkable 70-plus year wait can be put to bed. Two great stories, one new name on the trophy.

I think it will go to Wakefield's No 9 Tyson Smoothy. I think this will be really close and there'll be plenty of nerves because neither club has won a Super League Grand Final. It almost feels a shame one of them has to lose because seeing a new name on that trophy will be brilliant for the competition.

Warrington are battle-hardened after a proper scrap at Headingley while Wakefield must be bouncing after what I'd call the biggest upset in Super League play-off history, beating the League Leaders 33-6 in their own backyard. Getting to Old Trafford is the reward, but once you're there nobody remembers the runner-up. There's no nice way of losing a Grand Final.
