The competition has confirmed Round 20 (19-22 August) will see many derbies take place.

In a change to norm, due to current Covid restrictions, Super League said the “traditional” Easter fixtures have been moved back in the season in the hope that bumper crowds of fans will be able to cheer on their team from the stands.

Wigan will face Saints at the DW Stadium but the date and kick-off time has not been confirmed.

It means Warriors fans now know four of the upcoming fixtures. They will start the campaign against Leigh at Headingley on Friday, March 26, face Wakefield at St Helens six days later, and take on Warrington at the Magic Weekend on September 5.

The full list of fixtures are expected to be revealed tomorrow, when Wigan plan to announce details of their season tickets for 2021.
