Final

{{main|2024 Challenge Cup final}}

The tie was played on 8 June as part of a triple header, alongside the women's final, and the 1895 Cup final. Following the death of Rob Burrow on 2 June, the RFL announced that kick-off for the final would be put back from 3pm to 3:07pm to honour Rob and the number seven shirt he wore. Rob's death was also commemorated with a minute's silence before kick-off and with a minute's applause during the seventh minute of the game.{{cite news |last1=Bower |first1=Aaron |title=Challenge Cup final kick-off time moved to honour Rob Burrow at Wembley |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jun/05/rugby-league-challenge-cup-final-to-kick-off-at-307pm-in-honour-of-late-rob-burrow |access-date=5 June 2024 |work=The Guardian |date=5 June 2024}}
