"We are in the final stages of confirming where the games will be played," said Super League executive chairman Robert Elstone in a statement. All the matches will be broadcast live and exclusively on Sky television.

The first three matches will be Hull Kingston Rovers v Toronto Wolfpack, St Helens v Catalans Dragons and Huddersfield Giants v Leeds Rhinos, with a full round of fixtures the following weekend at neutral venues.
