Academy squad confirmed for 2026

Wigan Warriors are delighted to announce and welcome our Academy squad for the 2026 season.

Players and families were invited to Robin Park Arena on Friday 12 September to sign an official Wigan Warriors Academy certification alongside Club Chairman Professor Chris Brookes. The squad were then presented in front of supporters at The Brick Community Stadium ahead of the First Team’s win over Castleford Tigers.

12 players have been promoted from the Club’s Scholarship programme, with four joining the Warriors from outside the Club. All players will join the rest of our Academy squad in November for pre-season in preparation for the 2026 Academy Championship.
