Leigh are hoping to fill the 12,000-capacity Leigh Sports Village for Saturday's final home game against Batley after offering free admission.
The Centurions are throwing the doors open to celebrate their promotion to Super League, which they secured with a 48-40 win over Huddersfield in their latest Super 8s Qualifiers match in front of a 5,934-strong home crowd on Saturday.
"This club belongs to the town and I would like to see every person in the town given the opportunity to come and enjoy the success of its biggest sporting club," said Leigh owner Derek Beaumont.
"Leigh is a quality town and we deserve what we are experiencing. My challenge to the town is to fill the stadium.
"I trust our loyal season-ticket holders will support and understand this initiative and I thank them in anticipation of the same."
