The fixture has been organised in collaboration with the IRFU, ahead of the Ireland U20s Rugby World Cup preparations.
The match also provides some vital game time to developing Ulster players ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Entry to the game will cost £5 per person, with car parking available on a limited basis. Gates are open from 4pm onwards.
Hogg will be assisted by Senior Men’s Head Coach, Richie Murphy, Senior Men’s Forwards Coach, Jimmy Duffy, and Elite Player Development Officer, Jonny Graham.
Senior Men’s lock, Harry Sheridan, captains the team, starting alongside Development lock, Charlie Irvine.
In the front row, Armagh RFC’s Niall Carville starts at loosehead prop alongside Senior Men’s hooker, James McCormick and Ballymena RFC’s Joe Mawhinney at tighthead prop.
All an Academy back row sees James McKillop start at blindside flanker, with Josh Stevens starting at openside flanker. Bryn Ward completes the forward pack at number eight.
Senior Men’s scrum-half, Conor McKee, forms the half-back partnership alongside Owen O’Kane at fly-half.
In the midfield, Academy centre, Jonny Scott starts at twelve, alongside Fraser Cunningham at outside centre.
Ethan Graham and Lukas Kenny start on the left and right wings, with next season’s Academy entrant, Josh Gibson, lining up at full-back.
Hogg names an eight strong bench, including hooker Connor Magee, who was also named this week as a new entrant to the Ulster Rugby Academy for 2025/26.
Third Year Academy back rower, Tom Brigg, is included on the bench with Ireland U20s prop, Paddy Moore, Ireland U19s prop, Blake McClean, and Dungannon RFC forward, Callum Johns, as the forward replacements.
