Hull KR hold a slender lead over Wigan Warriors and Leeds Rhinos at the top of the Super League table
Their rivals across the city, Hull FC, will want to upset the league leaders, sitting in seventh and just outside the play-off places behind Wakefield Trinity.
The Hull derby is a clash that needs no introduction, but fans will have to wait five minutes more than they may have been expecting.
SunSport can reveal why the clash between Hull FC and Hull KR is kicking off at 3:05pm.
Why is the Hull Derby kicking off at 3:05pm?
The game has been delayed by five minutes due to a test of the Emergency Alerts system.
The test is set to take place on Sunday, September 7 and 3pm, hence why the game has been pushed back five minutes.
The UK government will test alert systems meaning all 4G and 5G phones will make a loud noise.
Phones will also vibrate, and are set to make a siren-like noise for up to 10 seconds.
