Wigan Warriors achieve the highest attendance of Super League Round 16 in their latest Battle of the Borough clash.

Wigan Warriors attracted 16,053 spectators to The Brick Community Stadium for the latest Battle of the Borough clash, marking the highest attendance of Super League Round 16.

Matt Peet’s defending champions extended their undefeated streak to nine matches across all competitions with a 24-6 victory on Friday. The win also propelled them four points clear at the top of the Super League standings, courtesy of tries scored by Bevan French (2), Liam Marshall, and Liam Farrell.

This attendance figure represents the highest turnout for a regular Super League match for the Warriors in 2024. The next best attendance was 15,357 for their Round 3 victory over Huddersfield Giants.

The World Club Challenge against Penrith Panthers earlier in February holds the record for the highest attendance this year, with a sold-out crowd of 24,091.

In contrast, Leeds Rhinos drew the second largest audience, with 12,958 fans at Headingley Stadium on Saturday. The home team secured a thrilling 17-16 golden point victory over London Broncos.
