🏉 London Broncos welcome Salford Red Devils to the Cherry Red Records Stadium for a Super League Saturday showdown. See below for the latest ticket information.
London Broncos made rugby league history when they played first ever Super League game at their SW17 home on Friday 23 February against 2023 Grand Final runners-up Catalans Dragons. The Broncos then upped the ante taking on 2023 Grand Final winners and 2024 World Club Challenge champions Wigan Warriors; holding them to a six-point deficit at half-time before losing 22-60. A daunting start to their home campaign continued with the visit of leaders Warrington Wolves who dished out a 4-58 defeat on the Broncos and some hard lessons. And there was more of the same against Huddersfield Giants who came away from Wimbledon with a 26-6 victory. This afternoon the Londoners look to finally land a win in Wimbledon when they welcome Salford Red Devils to Plough Lane. London Broncos tickets are on sale to experience the action live!
London Broncos are back in the top tier of English rugby league for the first time in five years. A rollercoaster 2019 Super League season featured some memorable victories, including an 18-16 win over reigning champions (and today’s opponents!) Wigan Warriors and one of the shocks of the season when Broncos beat top-of-the-table St Helens 23-22 with a golden-point drop-goal. But survival wasn’t to be. Broncos suffered an agonising relegation, despite having amassed a points tally that would have seen them comfortably safe in most seasons.
2023 CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON RECAP
In 2023 London Broncos secured their passport back to the big time. The Londoners stunned favourites Toulouse Olympique in the Championship Grand Final by 18-14. It capped off a remarkable season for the Broncos who lost four of their opening five matches, only to battle back and make it to the play-offs where they defeated league leaders Featherstone in the semi-final ahead of their triumphant display against Toulouse.
2024 IN THE SUPER LEAGUE IS HERE
The Broncos are underway and looking to make their mark in the Super League in 2024. Can the Londoners take some notable scalps? They came agonisingly at Hull FC at the beginning of March! Robbie Storey scored a brilliant intercept try for the Broncos to put them ahead with less than 5 minutes remaining. But Hull struck back with a converted try at the death to win 28-24.
This afternoon, after sobering home defeats against the likes of world champions Wigan, high-flying Warrington Wolves and Super League leaders Catalans Dragons, the Broncos have a first win of the season at Plough Lane in their sights. Standing in their way are seventh-placed Salford Red Giants. It’s time for Round 8 of the 2024 Super League season. Strap yourselves in, it promises to be quite a rugby league ride.
London’s sole representatives in the top tier of English rugby league have played their home matches at AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium since the start of 2022. Having settled in after two seasons in the Championship the Broncos are relishing bringing Super League action to south-west London.
Can the Broncos take a much-needed ‘W’ at Plough Lane against Salford Red Devils? Or will the visitors take the points back to Yorkshire? All rugby league roads lead to SW17 to find out!
