Warriors and Blues to host double header at Eden Park

The Warriors and Blues will host a double-header for league and rugby fans next season.

The Warriors will host the Canberra Raiders at Eden Park on Saturday, March 21 at 5pm in the NRL before the Blues and Brumbies meet in Super Rugby at 7.35pm.

The announcement came as the NRL side revealed their schedule for the 2020 season.

The Warriors will use four different stadiums for their home games next year with nine at Mount Smart Stadium, one at Eden Park and one each in Wellington and in Brisbane.

The unveiling of the draw today has confirmed five of their 12 home games have been set down for Saturdays, five on Friday nights and two on Sundays.

Their first match of the year at their home ground is against Wests Tigers in the fourth round on Saturday, April 4.

In their other two 'home games' the Warriors will again be at Suncorp Stadium for the NRL's Magic Round when they face Parramatta on Sunday, May 3 and they'll also return to Wellington taking on North Queensland on Saturday, June 27.

It means the Warriors will have home games against six of 2019's top eight teams, the only exceptions being South Sydney and Cronulla.

As well as the Rabbitohs and the Sharks, the other clubs the Warriors will meet only once will be St George Illawarra, Wests Tigers, Parramatta and Penrith.

While the Warriors will travel to Melbourne, Canberra, Wollongong, Newcastle, Robina on the Gold Coast, Brisbane (twice), Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast and Townsville they'll barely be seen in Sydney with just four games scheduled there.
