The Fijian Drua will host eight home matches during the 2027 Super Rugby Pacific competition, including one against defending champions.
Their clash against the Hurricanes is expected to be held at the National Stadium in Suva.
Other home games will include their opening clash of the season against the Highlanders on 13 February, round three against the Reds on 27 February, round six against the Blues on 20 March, round nine on 10 April against Western Force, round 14 against the Brumbies on 15 May, round 15 against the Crusaders on 21 May, and round 16 battle against the Waratahs on 29 May.
The Fijian Drua management have yet to confirm where seven of their home matches will be played.
However, they said the draws looks exciting for the club and their home fans.
The side will also play four of their away matches in New Zealand and three in Australia.
The New Zealand matches include their first of two clashes against the Hurricanes, which is scheduled for 13 March at the Hnry Stadium in Wellington.

Other games in New Zealand for the lone Pasifika team include the Super Round match against the Highlanders in Christchurch on 4 April, facing the Chiefs in Hamilton on 16 April and the Eden Park clash against the Blues on 7 May.
The Drua have a new coach in Brad Mooar, who was assistant coach with the Crusaders in the past two seasons.
The club has also announced some new signings, with at least 10 of their players from the past two seasons moving on to contracts overseas.
The 2027 season kicks of on Friday, 12 February with the Crusaders hosting Queensland Reds at the One NZ Stadium in Christchurch, followed by the ACT Brumbies hosting the NSW Waratahs, at the GIO Stadium, Canberra later that evening.
Defending champions, Hurricanes will travel to meet the Blues at Eden Park on February 13, in their opening game.
The draw unveiled on Tuesday features a total of 10 Sunday fixtures as part of the expanded 17-round, 80 game regular season.
Eight teams will have the bye in Round 11, with just Queensland Reds taking on the Blues at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane for that ANZAC weekend clash.
The Super Round returns to Christchurch for the second consecutive season. It will be held from 2 to 4 April.
The top six teams at the end of the 2027 regular season will contest a revamped three-week Finals Series, with the top two progressing directly to the Semi-Finals and teams ranked third and fourth hosting sudden-death Elimination Finals.
The grand final is billed for 26 June.
Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley said the new season will be exciting.
The teams have been reduced to 10 following the winding up of Moana Pasifika after the 2026 season.
“We’re delighted to deliver a 2027 draw that gives fans more to look forward to than ever before – Sunday footy, an epic Easter weekend, Super Round back in Christchurch and a history-making Anzac weekend in Brisbane,” he said.
“Every team begins the season with a clear ambition to win the title. But the stakes will be even higher next year, with the opening half of the season shaping as a shootout for Test jerseys ahead of the inaugural Anzac Bledisloe and the Rugby World Cup coming sharply into view beyond it.
“Throw in all the traditional and emerging rivalries, and a new Finals Series where every game is sudden death, and there will be more at stake in every Super Rugby Pacific fixture, from the opening whistle through to the Grand Final.
Mesley said the competition had experienced growth across all key metrics over the last three season.
“We’re confident that we’ve delivered a fan-focused draw for 2027 that will continue to build on that positive momentum.”
