Wollongong fans will only have to wait until round two for their first taste of action at home, with the Dragons to play Parramatta on Sunday, March 12 at 6.30pm.
They then tackle North Queensland and Melbourne in April, before the fourth of their Wollongong allocation on Sunday, July 23, against Manly.
The Dragons will play five games at UOW Jubilee Oval, Kogarah, including the season opener against Penrith on March 4.
“It will be great to start the season with back to back home games,” Dragons prop Tariq Sims said.
“Hopefully we can pack out Kogarah and Wollongong and have big home crowds and a great atmosphere to help kick-start our 2017 season.
“Pre-season training is going really well and now the draw is out, it means we are one step closer to getting out there and playing.
“The boys can’t wait for the season to start.”
