Rugby League is gearing up for a first Ashes series for 17 years in 2020 - and we are set to break new ground by hosting one of the three prestigious Tests between England and Australia at our new stadium.

Our world-class venue will host the third match of the series on Saturday 14 November (5.30pm) next year with the 'Wall of White' taking on the 'Kangaroos' - the reigning and 11-time world champions. Indeed, this series represents the first time the old sporting enemies will meet since the 2017 World Cup Final in Brisbane.

The three-match series kicks off at the University of Bolton Stadium on Saturday 31 October (KO 2.30pm) with the second match being staged at Elland Road, Leeds, a week later (Saturday 7 November, 2.30pm) before arriving in N17 for what could be the deciding match of the series on 14 November 2020.

It's another sporting spectacle to add to a stellar list of major events that our new stadium is due to host.

Only last month, we made history by opening the doors of our new stadium to NFL fans for the first time when Oakland Raiders took on Chicago Bears followed by Carolina Panthers against Tampa Bay Buccaneers in back-to-back weekends in front of sell-out crowds.
