Hide AdAll teams are facing midweek matches and most games after August are listed for either a Thursday or Friday.
After the already-announced clash with Huddersfield Giants, which is officially an away fixture, Rhinos will host St Helens on August 9 before a trip to TW Stadium the following Saturday.
Castleford Tigers begin with a 'home' game against Catalans Dragons at Headingley on Saturday, August 8 while Wakefield meet Wigan Warriors at the same ground the following afternoon. That is an 'away' match.
A Super League spokesman said: "Given the exceptional and demanding financial climate, the opportunity to play in front of home crowds has been ‘front of mind’ in our fixture scheduling.

"The significance of home crowds to clubs and fans also means that dates and venues in the back end of the campaign will be reviewed as the season progresses, in line with government advice and in discussion with our host broadcaster, Sky Sports."
The top-four play-offs are scheduled for mid/late-November, with the Grand Final at the end of that month.
Details of the Coral Challenge Cup have not been revealed.
