Pre-season fixtures and dates as Super League, Championship and League 1 sides prepare for action

It is an exciting period in rugby league as clubs ramp up their preparations for the start of the new season later this month.

The 2021 Super League campaign gets under way on March 26, while lower league clubs are in action the weekend before in the Challenge Cup.

After a year without a game, some Championship sides will blow away the cobwebs this weekend.

Wigan Warriors and Salford Red Devils are the only Super League teams that will not play a trial match, with both clubs favouring opposed training sessions instead.

Catalans Dragons and Leigh Centurions have arranged two hit-outs, while others are content with one friendly in addition to opposed sessions.

Here, Rugby League Live puts together a list of upcoming trial games.
