While Covid-19 restrictions may mean the stands will be empty, expect nothing less than a full-blooded battle on the pitch at Wembley this afternoon. So that you don't miss a try, tackle or chicken scratch, we'll explain how to live stream Leeds Rhinos v Salford Red Devils in rugby league's 2020 Challenge Cup Final today, even if the match isn't been shown where you are.
The Rhinos come into the clash as favourites, with Saturday's match marking their 26th appearance in the final. Having previously lifted the trophy on 13 occasions, Leeds will be drawing inspiration from their last outing at Wembley in the Challenge Cup back in 2015 where they registered an unforgettable 50-0 trouncing of Hull KR - a result that stands as the tournament final's widest ever margin of victory.
The Challenge Cup Final 2020 between Leeds Rhinos vs Salford Red Devils takes place this Saturday. London's iconic Wembley Stadium is the venue for all the action, with kick-off at 3pm BST.
It's all available on the BBC in the UK, and you can watch your usual coverage from anywhere with a VPN.
Salford have only won the Challenge Cup once - a mere 80 years ago - and despite the agony of falling at the final hurdle in last year's Super League Grand Final still fresh in the memory, they will nevertheless fancy their chances here. Ian Watson’s men have been on an exceptional run to get to Wembley, having sealed their spot with an impressive win over Warrington Wolves in the semi-finals.
If the Red Devils are to write a new chapter in their club's history they'll need to do it without full-back Dan Sarginson and former Leeds forward Jack Ormondroyd, after both players were ruled out after testing positive for Covid-19 on Thursday.
