The Wellington Phoenix look set to play three home matches at the Hutt Rec in the upcoming A-League season.

Westpac Stadium is unavailable for most of February and March because of the cricket world cup, with the Phoenix having three home games scheduled in that time.

Newstalk ZB understands those matches- against Melbourne City on February 14, Newcastle Jets on February 22 and Adelaide United on March 8 - will be played at the Hutt Rec.

Temporary seating will be erected at the ground to accommodate a crowd of over 6000.
