The release of the full NRL draw on Tuesday confirmed the club will split 11 of its 12 home games between its traditional homes, with Kogarah hosting five games and the Dragons hosting the annual Anzac Day clash with the Roosters at the SCG.

The Dragons have opened their season at Kogarah just four times in their history, but next year's Sunday evening showdown with the Tigers in round one will be a first for Wollongong.

Six games is an increase on the four the club played at WIN last season and the five it hosted in 2018, brought about in part by the NSW government's major stadium upgrades.

The club will return to Mudgee for the preseason Charity Shield but will not take an NRL fixture to the bush after they were thumped 45-12 at Glen Willow Oval in round 10 this year.

They'll also pick up a bonus 'home' game when they face arch-rivals Cronulla at Kogarah in round 24, with the Sharks shifting home games to the venue due to renovations to Shark Park.

Wollongong will also host the Warriors on Easter Sunday in round five, one of nine Sunday fixtures for the club, the Sea Eagles in round 12 and grand finalists' the Raiders in round 19.

WIN Stadium will also host potential blockbusters against the Bulldogs in round 22 and South Sydney in round 25 should all three be jostling for finals positions.

Paul McGregor's side will have just two interstate trips in the first 19 rounds, facing Melbourne as part of a shortened Magic Round in Brisbane in round seven before returning to take on the Broncos a fortnight later. The draw won't see them travel to Melbourne, Townsville and New Zealand.

The Origin period also shapes as a manageable one, going without their stars against Manly in round 12 with a five-day turn into their traditional June long-weekend clash with the Bulldogs.

They'll also enjoy a round-16 bye ahead of Origin III with a clash with the Roosters to follow four days after the final game of the series.
