Australia and New Zealand have committed to playing in the rescheduled Rugby League World Cup next year.
The tournament was due to start in England last month, but was postponed after Australia and New Zealand pulled out due to safety concerns related to coronavirus.
Organisers put the World Cup back a year, with the event now set to start on October 15.
It was confirmed on Monday that defending champions the Kangaroos and the Kiwis will feature in the showpiece.
"Today is a very important and exciting milestone on our journey to 2022," Rugby League World Cup chief executive Jon Dutton said.
Organisers have vowed that the tournament will be "bigger, better and bolder than ever before."
A match schedule and tickets will be released on Friday.
