Dons to face Barrow Raiders in Featherstone replacement fixtures

We can confirm that we have been paired with Barrow Raiders in our ‘replacement fixture’ for the 2026 Betfred Championship season.

The RFL have formulated the replacement fixtures to ensure each Championship club maintains a 24-game season despite Featherstone Rovers not participating in the league this year.

It has seen clubs that were not previously due to meet this season paired against each other to play both home and away.

The Dons will host and visit Barrow Raiders, with the dates of the two fixtures to be confirmed in due course.

Other replacement fixtures in the Championship include:

Halifax Panthers v Swinton Lions 

North Wales Crusaders v Salford RLFC 

Oldham RLFC v Batley Bulldogs 

London Broncos RLFC v Hunslet RLFC 

Widnes Vikings v Goole Vikings
