Barry McDermott will see that when Super League Magic Weekend returns to Newcastle, it will be another party weekend…
After last week’s round of action pulsating in Super League action, excitement has been built up in one of the best weekends on the rugby league calendar, Magic Weekend 2025, and once again returns to the iconic St. James Park.
Newcastle spreads his arms to rugby league fans from every corner of the country (and more!) and creates a wonderful carnival atmosphere that only magic can deliver.
Saturday, May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th, promise to be two days of full throttle action, passion and memories.

It’s not just about games, it’s about people, laughter, drama, and community. I always say this is a community game.
Magical weekends aren’t just fixturers, they’re experiences.
2025 is becoming one of the biggest and biggest that the Super League table seems likely to be closer than ever. The magic is here soon, so bring your colours, bring your voice and your passion.
Six big hit games. An incredible stadium
