Reserves and academy fixtures confirmed

The fixture list for the return of reserves in 2020 has been published – alongside the schedule for the new Under-18s competition.

Castleford Tigers and Leeds Rhinos are scheduled to play the first match in the revived Reserves League on Thursday, January 30 – the first of a full round of seven fixtures.

Each of the 14 teams will play 18 matches, with the last round of fixtures on the weekend of August 30 – and no play-offs, meaning the team finishing top will be crowned champions.

The Academy Championship kicks off a month later than the Reserves League with the Tigers facing Warrington in round one.

See below for full reserves and under-18s fixtures for 2020.

Remember, all season ticket holders get free entry into home reserves and academy matches next year. For full information, visit www.castlefordtigers.com/2020
