“Our championship win, while vivid in the memory, feels every bit of seven months ago so we can't wait for the rematch against the Heat and then getting back in front of our home crowd at CitiPower Centre," Rosengarten said.
"We've got four huge home games this season and can’t wait to see our supporters turn out in full voice,” Rosengarten said.
The fixture also sees the Renegades tackle an extended stay in Sydney, including a neutral home game against the Hurricanes at North Sydney Oval, as well as trips to Adelaide and Perth to round out the club's away fixtures.
WBBL Head Coach Simon Helmot said the squad will continue to build on its strong culture and aggressive brand.
“We know we’ve got a talented and bonded group who can compete with anyone on their day,” Helmot said.
“Playing at CitiPower Centre in front of our passionate home fanbase always brings out the best in this team, and we can’t wait to get out there and give our title defence a serious shake.”
Renegades membership packages are on sale now, with early bird pricing available until 1 September.
