The club are currently working with the council to confirm overall capacity for the clash.
The Giants have won the Challenge Cup six times but haven’t reached the final since their 2009 defeat by Warrington Wolves, while the Raiders famously won the coveted trophy in 1955.
Paul Crarey’s side are one of five Betfred Championship clubs still in the Challenge Cup. They are joined in the last 16 by Featherstone Rovers, Whitehaven, Sheffield Eagles and Leigh Centurions.
A 32-18 victory over Cumbrian rivals Workington Town was enough to see the Raiders advance to the latest round of the competition.
