York RLFC is proud to confirm that the club has formally submitted its application to enter the Betfred Super League in 2026.
This marks an exciting new chapter for York RLFC as we look ahead with optimism and determination to compete against some of the greatest rugby league clubs in the world. Our vision is clear: to continue building a club that represents the very best of York—both on and off the field.
“This opportunity has only been made possible thanks to the collective effort and support of so many. We are deeply grateful to our loyal supporters, dedicated staff, coaches, volunteers, family members, club partners, and, most importantly, our players—past and present.
'We also recognise the countless generations who have carried the game in York since 1868, laying the foundations for this opportunity. Their passion and perseverance have brought us to this point in our journey.'
'As we take this bold step forward, York RLFC is more determined than ever to represent our city with pride, ambition, and unity. Together, we stand ready to show that York belongs on the biggest stage.”
Chairman, Clint Goodchild
This is our time.




















Would be a fitting reward for the huge efforts both on and off the field, go York Knights
