Pride 2026 Draw Locked In

Pride 2026 Draw Locked in with Southern Opener and Three Home Fixtures

The Farah Palmer Cup 2026 schedule has been announced, with the Codec Wellington Pride set to play three home matches and two away fixtures.

The Pride will open their campaign against last season’s champions Otago on 29 August at Forsyth Barr Stadium in the deep south.

They return home the following week to face North Harbour at Rugby League Park, Newtown, in their first home game of the season. The Hawke’s Bay Tui also return to the competition and are expected to provide a strong challenge at McLean Park.

The Pride will then shift to Hnry Stadium for their final two round-robin matches, taking on Northland and Tasman in fixtures that will also feature as double-headers alongside the Wellington Lions.
