The Challenge Cup quarter-finals draw has been made, with eight clubs just two wins away from reaching the final at Wembley.
The BBC showed the draw live after their broadcast of Hull’s 32-8 win over Castleford on Sunday afternoon.
The quarter-finals of the prestigious cup competition will be held across the weekend of June 16-18, with all four set to be televised.
BBC will get first picks for the Saturday and Sunday afternoons, while Viaplay Sports will broadcast the remaining two.
York, the only remaining Championship club in the competition, have been drawn at home to Leigh, who have won their last five games.
Hull KR, who are currently third in the Super League table, will welcome Salford to Craven Park in the quarter-finals.
There’ll be a derby clash at the DW Stadium when Wigan host neighbours Warrington.
Champions St Helens, who were made to work for a 26-6 victory by Championship club Halifax on Friday, will travel to Hull FC in the quarters.
