The wheelchair Rugby League World Cup 2026 features eight teams and its own player lists, pool draw and team stories. This guide brings together the wheelchair squad profiles on rlwcfans so supporters can browse each country's team information without confusing it with that nation's men's or women's entry.
The player information below reflects the current site data and is not an official team announcement. Confirm selections, eligibility and late changes with the tournament organisers or national teams. See the official RLWC website for official updates.
