The Victorian FIDA Football League Northern Conference 2020 fixture was also recently released, with the season set to kick off on Sunday April 19 in Echuca.
The league is played in a carnival format, with each round played roughly one month apart in a different location.
The Suns will host the league for round three, with all games played on Bendigo's Queen Elizabeth Oval.
"A lot of the players have spent years watching football on the QEO," Wridgway said.
"This is a great opportunity for them to be in the spotlight and play on Bendigo's premier ground."
Formally known as the Bendigo Dockers, the Suns formed a partnership with South Bendigo in 2018.
With each season the club continues to grow with increased player participation.
