Super League’s annual showpiece event will return to the home of Newcastle United on Saturday 19th May and Sunday 20th May.
Magic Weekend has been held on Tyneside since 2015 and has smashed previous attendance records as fans flock to the region each year.
All 12 Betfred Super League teams will once again feature over the two-day event, with three fixtures taking place on the Saturday and three on the Sunday.
Announcing the decision to return to St. James’ Park, Super League general manager, Mark Foster, said: "We are delighted to be bringing the Dacia Magic Weekend back to Newcastle for a fourth year.
"We had a number of other cities bid to host what is a fantastic event but Newcastle is a great venue for us.
"The city has made us feel incredibly welcome over the last three years and we know our fans love to come to Newcastle for the weekend."
Lee Charnley, Newcastle United's managing director said: "We are very proud to have hosted the Dacia Magic Weekend for the last three years and we’re as excited as always to be hosting this magnificent sporting event once again in 2018.
"We are delighted that the Super League continue to recognise the quality of the venue, facilities and support we provide at St. James’ Park, as well as the great working relationship we have developed with Super League and our partners across the city in playing host to such a fantastic event."
