When is the Challenge Cup semi-final draw and how can I follow it

The Challenge Cup has reached the quarter-final stage with just eight teams remaining in the competition. Semi-final spots are up for grabs this weekend, with teams battling it out to move within one win of the final, which will be held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in May.

The draw for the semi-finals will take place on Sunday and here’s all you need to know.

The draw will take place at half-time in Sunday’s televised quarter-final between Wigan Warriors and Wakefield Trinity. That game kicks off at 2.30pm, meaning the draw is expected to be made between 3.15pm and 3.30pm.

The draw will be broadcast live on BBC Two during the channel's coverage of the game at Belle Vue. However, there will be live updates available on Hull Live, too.

The quarter-finals will be played out this weekend, starting with Hull KR against Castleford Tigers on Friday night. Holders St Helens travel to Perpignan on Saturday afternoon, while Huddersfield Giants play host to Hull FC at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Wakefield Trinity will round off the weekend with their clash against Wigan Warriors.
