Season Description
The 2026 RFL Championship (officially known as the Betfred Championship for sponsorship reasons) is a professional rugby league club competition. The second tier of the British rugby league system comprises 20 clubs - this is due to the Rugby Football League (RFL) announcing that the Championship and League One competitions were to be combined for the 2026 season.

The Grand Final and League Leaders Shield were both won by London Broncos.
