The Challenge Cup final will kick off seven minutes late on Saturday as part of ongoing tributes to Leeds Rhinos legend Rob Burrow.
England and Great Britain international Burrow died at the age of 41 on Sunday, having battled motor neurone disease (MND) since 2019.
The Rugby Football League has announced that the scheduled 15:00 BST start at Wembley will be put back to 15:07 to reflect the number seven shirt Burrow wore during his illustrious career.

A minute’s silence will also be held before both of the women’s and men’s finals, and supporters will be able to leave tributes at the Rugby League Statue outside the stadium from 09:45 BST on Saturday morning.
