PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE CONFIRMED

Pre-Season Schedule Finalised and Dual Registration partner revealed.

Huddersfield Giants have finalised their pre-season schedule with three games to lead  into the Betfred Super League opener against Leigh Leopards on Friday 16th February. In a change from previous campaigns the Giants will face Super League opposition in two out of the three games.

To cement our Dual Registration partnership with neighbours Dewsbury Rams our first fixture will see us travel away to the Flair Stadium in Dewsbury on Sunday 21st Jan to take on the newly promoted Rams – full admission details will follow in the New Year.

For our first home trial game of 2024 the Giants will take on Betfred Super League newcomers London Broncos at the John Smiths Stadium on Sunday 28th January. Mike Eccles’s men will make the journey up the M1 to throw down a marker for their intentions in 2024 and this will be the first time the two clubs have met since 2019.

Our final test before the first-round proper will be against our West Yorkshire Betfred Super League rivals the Castleford Tigers on Sunday 4th Feb away at the Jungle.

Giants Managing Director Richard Thewlis commented on the schedule and dual registration.

“The dual registration agreement with Dewsbury will work well for us in a number of areas given the size of squad we have going into 2024. 

"Every player in the full time squad already has either Super League or Championship experience under their belts and reserves is a step backwards in terms of intensity and quality in many instances. 

"The locality of Dewsbury fits nicely for training and of course their Head Coach Dale Ferguson is a man known to most here and held in high regard. 

"The partnership will enable movement both ways and the trial game will kick start what we hope will be a long term relationship with Dewsbury.”
