Their local rivals, Hull FC, are aiming to disrupt the league leaders, currently placed seventh and just outside the playoff zone, trailing Wakefield Trinity.

The Hull derby is a celebrated event, but fans will have to wait an additional five minutes longer than anticipated.

SunSport has unraveled the reason for the delayed kickoff for the match between Hull FC and Hull KR, which is now set for 3:05 PM.

Why is the Hull Derby starting at 3:05 PM?

The match has been postponed by five minutes to facilitate a test of the Emergency Alerts system.

This test is arranged for Sunday, September 7, at 3:00 PM, hence the game’s later start time.

The UK government will perform checks on alert systems, causing all 4G and 5G devices to emit a loud sound.

The devices will vibrate and generate a siren-like noise for up to 10 seconds.
