Huddersfield Giants open their 2022 Betfred Super League Season at home against Hull KR at the John Smith's Stadium in their 2022 Home Opener. The Giants are top of the Super League after their Round 1 win against Toulouse Olympique and are looking to make it back-to-back wins against the Robins.

There are loads of activities available at the game for you to enjoy. The centrepiece of the Giants offering to home and away supporters will be the Deliveree Food Festival, opening from midday on gameday featuring six food outlets and two bars for supporters to sample a number of Huddersfield's local vendors in a party atmosphere for a vibrant tailgate feel.
