Rhinos visit their former coach Brian McDermott's Toronto Wolfpack - who are attempting to sign New Zealand dual-code superstar Sonny-Bill Williams - on Sunday, August 2.
That is the last of three overseas trips next year, after games at Catalans Dragons on March 14 and May 30.
The second of Rhinos' visits to Catalans will be staged at Stade Ernest Wallon, in Toulouse.

“We got approached a while ago about the prospect of hosting a double-header.
“Super League were quite keen to have that for the opening weekend and it will be a treat for our fans to come and watch two games for the price of one."
