Huddersfield Giants seek alternate venue after John Smith's Stadium fixture clash

Huddersfield Giants will relocate one of their home games next season due to an event clash at the John Smith's Stadium. The Giants are set to take on Wigan Warriors in round 14, with the game clashing with a Stereophonics gig.

The fixture is set for Saturday 14 June, with the Giants confirming this Thursday morning that they will host the fixture at an alternative venue. It is unclear what that venue will be right now, with the likes of Bradford's Odsal ground and Halifax's Shay ground in close proximity. It's thought that the latter will be the more likely option.

In a post on social media, the club wrote: "Please note, due to the concert being held at the John Smith's Stadium - Round 14 will be held at an alternative venue."

Meanwhile, the Giants will be coached by former player Luke Robinson in 2025, who made his interim role permanent at the end of last season. The club also recently unveiled Tom Burgess as their biggest signing for 2025, with the England prop signing a three-year deal.

The Fartowners open their Super League account with a home game against Warrington Wolves on Sunday 16 February. Their first away game is against Leigh Leopards on Sunday 23. They finished in ninth place last season.
