HUDDERSFIELD GIANTS have announced that their home Super League fixture against Catalans Dragons on Saturday 8 August will be free entry.
At that game, the Giants will also be announcing their home for the 2027 Super League season.
With the club set to leave the Accu Stadium after 32 years at the venue, much has been made about where the Giants will play next year and beyond.
A new stadium had been mooted – and is still very much in the pipeline – but Dewsbury Rams’ FLAIR Stadium appears to be the frontrunner to host Huddersfield fixtures next season.
The Giants have already taken games to the FLAIR Stadium on multiple occasions, with the smaller venue becoming a hit with home and away supporters alike.
Ken Davy OBE, owner of the club, added: “The pressure to find a new stage for the 2027 season hasn’t been enjoyable but I am now relaxed and very confident that next season will be very special indeed.
“We want to get as many people to the Catalans game as possible so I would like to offer an extended invite to everyone across Kirklees to join us, free of charge, at the Accu Stadium to witness this momentous announcement.”
Ralph Rimmer OBE, executive chairman of the Huddersfield Giants, said: “Despite extensive talks with the local authority, all avenues for an easily developable site within the town perimeter have been exhausted within the necessary timeframe.
“However, the vision for the Giants remains the same: a consistently dominant Super League force, both on and off the field producing sell-out crowds in its own venue.
“They say that you should never miss the opportunity in a crisis and the Giants have had to grab the nettle to make this happen.
“We are striving to deliver elite Super League experiences to our fans, commercial partners and the rest of the competition and believe that when our plans are revealed, then all will be impressed and excited by our Giant future.”
