Bradford Bulls and Keighley Cougars now know when they will find out their respective Betfred Championship and League 1 fixtures for 2025.
The RFL will release those on Tuesday, November 26, around a week after clubs return for pre-season training.
The draw for the first and second round of the Challenge Cup will then take place on Monday, December 2.
Thirty-four community teams will take part in the first round, with the 17 winners joining 12 Championship and 11 League 1 teams in the second round.
As it stands, the RFL are still looking at options for the 1895 Cup next season, with the competition's structure to be confirmed in due course.
