The NRL Pre-Season Challenge is set to kick off on February 15, featuring 16 intense clashes across two weekends of footy.
Reigning champions Manly will be defending their title with their new halves pairing of Daly Cherry-Evans and Luke Brooks.
The challenge provides an opportunity for teams to fine-tune combinations and get game time ahead of the Telstra Premiership season.
The format and points system will remain consistent with 2023, with $100,000 in prize money up for grabs.
The opening round will see the Bulldogs take on the Storm, the Cowboys face the Broncos, and the Roosters play the Sea Eagles.
Additionally, the All Stars showpiece will feature the best Indigenous and Maori talent at Queensland Country Bank Stadium.
