The NZ Warriors have announced a three-year deal to bring NRL home games to Christchurch.
This historic move comes after the team's successful 2023 campaign.
The partnership with Venues Otautahi and Christchurch NZ will see the Warriors playing in the country's second biggest city for the first time in their 30-season history.
In addition to regular season games, the Warriors will also play a Preseason Challenge match in Christchurch in February for the next three years.
The 2024 and 2025 fixtures will be held at Apollo Projects Stadium, with the 2026 game scheduled to take place at Christchurch's new international arena, Te Kaha Stadium.
This move further cements the Warriors' relationship with the South Island sporting community.
