Wigan, 19-time Challenge Cup winners, will face the current Super League leaders Hull FC in Doncaster on Friday, July 29 (8pm).

The match will be broadcast live on BBC2.

Last year's first-ever Friday night televised semi-final on the BBC between Leeds and St Helens drew in a TV audience of over 1.3million.

The Keepmoat Stadium previously hosted a Challenge Cup semi-final in 2011 when Leeds defeated Castleford 10–8 in front of a crowd of 13,158.
