Super League Grand Final Hospitality

The Super League Grand Final is rugby league's showpiece, the season decider played each year at Old Trafford, Manchester United's football stadium in Manchester. That is Manchester United's football ground, a separate venue from Emirates Old Trafford, the Lancashire cricket stadium nearby that shares the name. Hospitality at the fixture ranges from premium seating with lounge access to shared lounges and private executive boxes, built around a full afternoon at one of the largest stadiums in English sport. The 2025 final drew 68,853, the biggest Grand Final crowd since 2017 and up from 68,173 in 2024. This guide from Prestige Corporate Events explains what each hospitality option involves and who it suits, with the confirmed detail for the 2026 edition set out on its own page.

What is the Super League Grand Final, and where is it played?

The Super League Grand Final is the season-deciding match of Betfred Super League, rugby league's top competition in Britain. It is played each year at Old Trafford, Manchester United's football stadium in Manchester, and has been the fixture's home since 1998, apart from 2020. Under a signed agreement between Rugby League Commercial and Manchester United, it stays at the ground through 2027.

Playing the final at a major football stadium rather than a club rugby ground is central to the occasion, giving it the room to become one of the biggest single days in the domestic game.

What hospitality options are there at Old Trafford for the Grand Final?

Hospitality at Old Trafford for the Grand Final generally falls into three broad types, each pairing a place to eat and drink with a view of the pitch inside one of the biggest grounds in the English game:

• Premium seating with lounge access: a padded seat in a prime position, with access to an indoor lounge before the match and at the interval.
• Shared hospitality lounge: a hosted indoor lounge shared with other guests, with dining and a reserved match seat.
• Private executive box: a self-contained box for your group, with its own seating and a catered private space.

The right choice depends on group size, how much of the day you want spent indoors, and whether the group prefers its own private room or the atmosphere of a shared lounge.

Who is Grand Final hospitality for?

Grand Final hospitality suits a broad mix of guests. Companies use it to entertain clients or reward staff. Groups book it to mark an occasion together. Committed rugby league fans take it for the best seats and the comfort, while first-timers find it an easy way into a major fixture. A hosted indoor space before kick-off and at the interval keeps a long October afternoon comfortable.

What is included, and what is not?

Hospitality at a fixture of this scale usually brings together a match seat, food and drink, and a hosted indoor area for the hours around the game. It does not cover travel to Manchester, overnight accommodation, or anything bought separately on the day. Where drinks are included, they are served to over-18s only and photo identification may be required.

Exact inclusions vary by hospitality type and by edition, so the confirmed detail for a given year is set out on that year's own page rather than here.

How does the Grand Final compare year on year?

The Grand Final has grown into one of the best-attended days in the domestic rugby league calendar. The 2025 final at Old Trafford drew 68,853, the biggest Grand Final crowd since 2017 and up from 68,173 the year before. Attendance on this scale is why the fixture fills a football stadium rather than a smaller rugby ground.
