The games had originally been scheduled for the Saints home at Max Mahon Oval and then were rescheduled to be played in Nelson Bay and Medowie.
However, the transfer to Singleton allows for all three teams to play at the same venue and for a swap in home games between Maitland and Singleton.
The shield game starts at 10am, the women's cup is at noon and the men's cup match at 2pm.
PREVIOUSLY:
The Maitland Saints opening home games will be moved to Nelson Bay and Medowie on Saturday with work being undertaken on Max McMahon Oval.
The Saints are due to play Singleton in men's and women's Black Diamond Cup and The Entrance Bateau Bay in the third division Black Diamond Shield.
AFL Hunter Central Coast has contingencies in place for the men's and women's Cup games to be transferred to Dick Burwell Oval, Nelson Bay at noon at 10am respectively.
The Saints reserves fixture will be played at Ferodale Oval, Medowie at 10am.
Saints joint-coach Dustin Spriggs said it would have been great to open the season at Max McMahon Oval but with the move to Nelson Bay there was actually a greater likelihood of the game getting on as it was a sand-based ground and had better drainage.
