THE TERRACE · CHAPTER 03

Twelve clubs, twelve grounds.

From the DW at Loire Drive to the Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan — the season-long home rounds of the 2026 Super League.

Inside every Super League home.

What makes a Super League ground? Two stands minimum, an active turnstile cap above ten thousand, and a board willing to host a midweek televised game in February. Most are repurposed council bowls or shared football homes. Two — Headingley and Wheldon Road — pre-date the Super League era by a century.

Capacities below are 2026 figures from each club's own programme. Last-honour notes carry the most recent first-team trophy or finishing position. Catalans Dragons (founded 2006) and Castleford Tigers (founded 1926) are not 1895 founder members; the others trace their lineage to the George Hotel meeting on 29 August 1895.
