England men v Papua New Guinea

A proposed mid-season game between England and Papua New Guinea [4] [5] did not occur following the RFL's U-turn decision to use the spare week in the UK domestic calendar (4/5 July) to retain Magic Weekend for 2026 as a sole loop fixture. [6] Magic Weekend had previously been set to be removed following Super League's expansion to 14 teams and the subsequent removal of loop fixtures (which included Magic Weekend) from the competition.
