BULLS will play one of their matches against Dewsbury next season at Headingley as part of a double header.
They will play the Rams on Sunday, June 21 at Leeds' ground, with the Rhinos playing Wakefield Trinity on the same day.
The clash acts as Dewsbury's home fixture, with the Bulls - who are sharing the Rams' Tetley's Stadium next year - the classified 'away' team.
Kick-off time and ticket details for the match will be announced in due course, with Dewsbury season ticket holders being admitted free.
The two local derbies will be part of the Leeds Rhinos' Family Fun Day - with a number of activities for parents and children alike.
A Bradford Bulls spokesperson said: "We fully support the decision for Leeds Rhinos’ Emerald Headingley Stadium to host our away fixture against Dewsbury Rams in what promises to be a fantastic afternoon of action on and off the field.
"As a club we have had many memorable trips to the home of the Rhinos and we look forward to doing battle with Dewsbury there ahead of the Super League clash between Leeds and Wakefield Trinity.
"We know our loyal army of supporters will relish this fixture and a chance for the Bradford Bulls to play on the Super League stage once again and we are convinced they will bring the noise and make it an afternoon to remember."
Leeds Rhinos' Head of Marketing Matt Adams said: "This will be a great enhancement to our annual family day activities on June 21. With a number of peripheral activities already booked for children and parents alike the addition of a BetFred Championship fixture between local rivals Dewsbury and Bradford will not only be an exciting spectacle but also add value to our members, which I’m sure will be greatly received.
"We can promise a warm Emerald Headingley welcome for all the fans from Dewsbury and Bradford and hopefully two great games for the price of one."
