Emerald Headingley will host a second Double Header during the Betfred Super League season when the Rhinos face Catalans Dragons in August.

Following on from the Super League Double Header which will kick off the Rhinos’ Super League campaign in 2020 on 2nd February, the stadium will host a second two game event on 7th August which will include the Championship game between Toulouse Olympique XIII and London Broncos and the Rhinos’ game against Catalans Dragons.

Prior to this the Rhinos will be part of the Anglo-French Betfred Super League and Championship Double Header on 30th May at Stade Ernest Wallon – the home of rugby union club Stade Toulousain.

Supporters travelling to Tolulouse will get two games for the price of one, with London Broncos playing Toulouse Olympique XIII on the same day Rhinos face the Dragons.

The game at Emerald Headingley, on neutral ground, will be the third of the season between Toulouse and London, ensuring that neither is at an unfair advantage or disadvantage as a result of playing in Toulouse on the Bash weekend.

Bernard Sarrazain, the TO XIII Chairman, said: “This double header in Toulouse will surely be one of the highlights of our season. We are delighted to welcome our Catalan friends again at Ernest-Wallon. With our clash against London, just relegated from Super League, followed by the game between Catalans and Leeds, it will be a great Rugby League party! And of course, we look forward to coming back to Emerald Headingley. The Rhinos and their fans gave us a great welcome in 2018 and we keep a fantastic souvenir of this game. To play again in this Rugby League emblematic stadium, especially in another Double Header, is a great prospect for us.”

Bernard Guasch, the Catalans chairman, said: “I would like to thank the RFL, the London Broncos and the Leeds Rhinos for helping us to make this event happen. Once again, our club will make history in the competition with this great concept. It will be one of the highlights of the 2020 Super League season.

“Toulouse is a famous city of Rugby and we are delighted to play again in the Stadium of the last Rugby Union Top 14 Champions. I would also like to thank TO XIII Chairman Bernard Sarrazain and Stade Toulousain Chairman Didier Lacroix for their involvement in the event. We will offer a great experience to all the Rugby fans in Toulouse in May and then in Leeds in August.”

Gary Hetherington, the Leeds Rhinos chief executive, added: “I am delighted the Rhinos are involved in this exciting initiative for both the Super League and Championship competitions. It will provide our fans the opportunity to visit Toulouse for the first time when we play Catalans Dragons at the Stade Ernest Wallon in May, which I am sure will be a great occasion. Equally we are excited to be hosting a second double header at Emerald Headingley when Toulouse take on London ahead of our game against Catalans in August.”
