The Wales rugby men’s side are set to face Fiji at the Cardiff City Stadium when they kick off the inaugural Nations Championship in July.
It will be the first time the Welsh men’s national side will play an international at the home of Cardiff City football club, with the game scheduled for Saturday, 4 July.
Details for the fixture are expected to be confirmed this week.
Wales play three away games in the summer campaign against Fiji, Argentina and South Africa in World Rugby’s new biennial competition.
Fiji are set to play their Nations Championship home matches at venues outside their own country, given the logistical difficulties of travel to the Pacific Islands and the ability to maximise revenue at larger grounds elsewhere.
Fiji face England in the second round of fixtures, before finishing the July group stages against Scotland.
The Principality Stadium is also continuing the tradition of hosting a number of non-rugby events this summer, so is unavailable to stage matches in late June and early July.
There are no official events yet listed in the Principality Stadium calendar for July, but rock group Metallica are holding a concert in Cardiff on Sunday, 28 June, 12 days after Take That have played in the Welsh capital.
Wales will host Japan, New Zealand and Australia at the Principality Stadium in November in the second half of the Nations Championship.
