Super League champions Wigan host back-to-back NRL holders Penrith at DW Stadium on Saturday, in the 2024 World Club Challenge. You can watch Wigan vs Penrith for FREE on BBC iPlayer in the UK and 9Now in Australia.
With the NRL and Super League tied on 14 WCC wins apiece, national interest beyond those of a Warriors or Panthers persuasion is off the scale. This is also the first time this fixture has been held in England since 2019, and the respective teams' contrasting World Club Challenge fortunes adds a further layer of intrigue.
While four-time WCC champions Wigan have a chance to become the joint-most successful team in this fixture's history, Penrith are out to capture the trophy for the first time ever. They've been runners-up three times, which makes them the owners of the WCC's worst record, and last year they became the first NRL champions in 29 years to lose the game on home soil.
