May was on Tuesday named in a 26-man Panthers squad, that includes fellow playmakers Jarome Luai and Matt Burton, to host the Tigers.
It will be the first time May plays a rugby league game since being stood down under the league's controversial no-fault stand-down policy last March.
The 23-year-old narrowly avoided jail time last month after pleading guilty to four counts of intentionally recording an intimate image without consent.
He was placed under a three-year good behaviour bond and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service.
The NRL later handed May an additional five-game ban, which doesn't apply to pre-season matches, while he was fined 25 per cent of his salary by Penrith.
His last NRL appearance was in Penrith's semi-final defeat to Cronulla in 2018.
