Players from both teams will meet rugby supporters in Albury on the Wednesday afternoon preceding the fixtures, with a dinner for both teams, at the Albury Steamers Club, to take place the night before the pre-season matches.
"We are looking forward to heading to Albury and, alongside the Rebels, bringing our Super Rugby squads to that part of our region," Brumbies CEO Phil Thomson said.
"These matches will be crucial in the build-up to the Super Rugby season with our coaching staff running the rule over the entirety of our squad during the two matches.

"These kind of fixtures are vital in connecting the Brumbies to the region and we thank our friends at the Albury Council and the Albury Steamers for hosting the matches.
"The Steamers have been long-term friends of the club, having hosted our age-grade teams in the past, and it's great that we can take our full Super Rugby squad to the town where we are expecting some exciting rugby to be played in front of a good crowd."
The Brumbies' Super Rugby campaign commences on Friday, January 31 with the visit of the Reds to GIO Stadium in Canberra from 7:15pm.
