2023 Championship fixtures announced

Our full list of fixtures for the 2023 Betfred Championship season has been revealed.

Yesterday, it was announced that we will begin the new campaign with a trip to York RLFC Knights on Sunday 5 February, followed by a home game seven days later against Keighley Cougars.

The Betfred Championship’s annual Summer Bash event will take place over the weekend of 27/28 May, with our opponents yet to be confirmed.

The regular season will conclude with a trip to Featherstone Rovers on Saturday 23 September (6pm kick-off).

Our Round 4 clash with Halifax Panthers at the DCBL Stadium has been selected for TV coverage on Viaplay, previously known as Premier Sports.

Our Round 10 trip to Batley Bulldogs will also be televised.

All fixtures are subject to change as further TV coverage is announced over the course of the season.

This is the same as last season, and a video demonstration on how to use the system is below.

The option to monthly finance your 2023 season ticket is only available until midnight on Wednesday 16 November.

Carer tickets

We will still be offering carer season tickets to those who require assistance when attending a home fixture at the DCBL Stadium.

The season ticket holder who requires a carer will pay the usual full price and will receive a second season ticket in their name free of charge – this second season ticket is to be used by their designated carer on the day. Carer season tickets do not include the benefits of Vikings Rewards.

If you had a carer ticket last season, please purchase your season ticket online as normal, and then email tickets@widnesvikings.co.uk confirming that you would like a complimentary carer ticket for 2023. New carer ticket applications must apply in full.

To be eligible for a carer season ticket, you must receive the HIGHER RATE of the mobility component on your Disability Living Allowance (DLA) OR Personal Independence Payment (PIP). A copy of your most recent DLA or PIP must be provided in order to prove your eligibility.
