Wigan will then welcome Ian Watson’s Huddersfield Giants in their first home league game of the new campaign at the DW Stadium during round three on March 1.

And Matt Peet’s side will face rivals St Helens at the home of Leeds United during the annual festival of rugby league.

The club haven’t opened their campaign at home since the 2020 season, defeating Warrington 16-10.

They have won six out of their last 10 opening Super League games, as well as a 22-22 draw against Widnes, and fell to a 27-18 opening defeat last season, but later went on to be crowned champions at Old Trafford.
