Dillon Dube, Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote and Alex Formenton were charged earlier this year in connection with an alleged sexual assault at a London hotel in 2018.
They are all charged with sexual assault, and McLeod faces an additional charge of sexual assault for "being a party to the offence."
All five plan to defend themselves against the allegations and opted for a jury trial in February.
