The Chiefs and Crusaders will play in Fiji in July, the first time a Super Rugby game will have been played in the Pacific Islands.
The round 15 match will be played at Suva's ANZ Stadium and will see Fiji become the eighth nation to host a Super Rugby fixture,
joining Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, Japan, Singapore and England.
"We know how much the Pacific Island people love their rugby and this year's test match between Manu Samoa and the All Blacks was testament to that," Chiefs chief executive Andrew Flexman said.
"This is a great opportunity to take the Chiefs to Fiji and help promote the game in their country. Fijians have added a huge amount to New Zealand's rugby heritage and it is fitting that we can give something back as well as expose our brand in a new territory."
