England RL will play one of their three-match Test series games against New Zealand at the Olympic Stadium in London on Sunday, 7 November 2015.

The Rugby Football League has confirmed the fixtures that will be England's first appearance on home soil since their epic clash with the Kiwis in the 2013 World Cup semi-final at Wembley, where a last-gasp Shaun Johnson try and goal sealed a dramatic 20-18 win for the visitors.

The match at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which will also host five fixtures in the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup, will take place on Saturday, November 7. The first union match to be played there will be the Barbarians against Argentina on 29 August.

The series opens at Hull's KC Stadium on Sunday, November 1 and will form part of the 150-year celebrations of the host club while the third Test will be at Wigan's DW Stadium on Saturday, November 14.

Tickets for all three fixtures will be available to purchase on Wednesday 11th March 2015 via the RFL.
