[1][2] Wigan won the match 16–12, seeing the Warriors win their fifth World Club Challenge, equaling the Sydney Roosters with the most titles.

The Wigan Warriors qualified by defeating the Catalans Dragons in the 2023 Super League Grand Final.

They lost the 2023 edition to St Helens in golden point, which also acted as one of their fixtures in the inaugural NRL Pre-season Challenge.

[3] As the 2024 edition was played in England, the Panthers did not participate in the Pre-season Challenge, which began the weekend prior.

[1] The Penrith Panthers' UK training base ahead of the match was at Manchester City's Etihad Campus.

[6] Heather Small headlined the prematch entertainment with a fan village being open in Wigan throughout the day, while Russell Watson performed the national anthems.

With 8 minutes played, Wigan got the first Try of the game, as Bevan French found a pass out wide for Abbas Miski to touch down in the corner.

With less than a minute to play, Penrith were pushing for a late try, and with less than 30 seconds to play, the referee called for a set restart, and Taylan May looked to have scored a last gasp try for Penrith in the corner, but the referee sent it to the video ref, with a line call of no try, and after viewing all angles, the video referee said that he couldn't overturn the decision, as there was insufficient evidence to overrule the line call, and Wigan won the match, to win their first world club challenge since 2017, and record equalling 5th title.

Wigan celebrated their victory during their opening home league fixture, against Huddersfield Giants, with a trophy parade and player walk through from the club's fan village at the Robin Park Arena (their reserve stadium and training ground) to the DW Stadium.
