North Wales Crusaders were saved from collapse in May 2026 after the RFL terminated their membership due to insolvency. A new ownership group, 'NW Rugby League 26 Limited', took over for the remainder of the 2026 season. The club was handed a 12-point deduction for the 2026 Championship season as a result of the insolvency event.
