Hawthorn is set to kick off the 2020 Marsh Community Series (formerly JLT), taking on the Saints at RSEA Park.

The Moorabbin match up will take place at 7.10pm on Thursday 20th February, kickstarting the three-week pre-season fixture.

After a bye in week two, the Hawks will head down to Launceston, ready to face the Demons in a Friday night showdown.

The clash will mark the first time since 2011 that Hawthorn has hosted Melbourne at UTAS Stadium.

The fixture presents two enthralling battles for fans of the brown and gold; the Hawks finished the 2019 season in exciting fashion and will be looking to continue in a similar vein against the Saints and Demons in 2020.

The 2020 Marsh Community Series will act as a pre-curser to the premiership season, due to kick off in late March.

The complete 2020 home and away fixture will be released via hawthornfc.com.au later this week.
