The new Rugby League season will begin on Thursday 5 February, when Widnes Vikings host Wigan Warriors in a televised game at the Select Security Stadium.
That will be the first of the opening round of First Utility Super League fixtures. The following night St Helens will host the Catalan Dragons at Langtree Park, and there will be four other fixtures on Sunday.
The Kingstone Press Championship will begin the following weekend, when Dewsbury Rams entertain Sheffield Eagles at Ram Stadium on Friday 13 February. But the big game of the opening weekend will be the clash between the ultra-ambitious Leigh Centurions and the equally determined Bradford Bulls at Leigh Sports Village on the Sunday afternoon.
That game is likely to set a new benchmark for attendances in the Championship.
