The Sharks, Stormers and Lions will play in the Neo Africa Tri-Series at the end of the month, a tournament which effectively constitutes those three teams pre-season matches before the 2011 Investec Super Rugby season starts.
The tournament will be hosted at Newlands, and the Western Force, who played in the three team series last year, will be replaced by the Lions.
The Tri-Series takes place from January 28 to February 5, kicking off with the Stormers hosting the Lions.
On February 1 the Sharks and Lions play, while the third and final match will be a replay of the 2010 Currie CUp final, with the home team taking on the Durban based side.
Three time and reigning champions the Bulls and the Cheetahs have not confirmed any pre-season matches at this stage.
The season proper will begin with two South African derbies, with the Lions hosting the Bulls on February 19, while earlier that night the Sharks will entertain the Cheetahs.
The Stormers have a first round bye before hosting the Lions on February 26.
