Jun 26, 2020 | 9:53 AM

The Toronto Wolfpack return to action Aug. 2 when they play Hull Kingston Rovers after being sidelined since March 11 due to the global pandemic.

The Super League announced Friday the transatlantic rugby league team will be one of six clubs in action as the sport resumes with a triple-header at a neutral venue before empty stands.

The Toronto game will be the first of the three matches, kicking off at 1 p.m. local time. St. Helens takes on the Catalans Dragons in a 4:15 p.m. start with the Huddersfield Giants and Leeds Rhinos kicking off at 6:30 p.m.

The league has yet to announce the site for the games. All 12 teams return to action the next weekend (Aug. 8-9).

The Wolfpack (0-6-0) have not played since March 11, when they blanked Huddersfield Giants 18-0 in the fifth round of the Challenge Cup.
