Three AFL blockbuster pre-season clashes. Six Victorian teams. One region ready to turn it up!
Mars Stadium is set to host three AAMI Community Series matches in 2026:
- Melbourne v Richmond (Friday 27 February at 4.10pm)
- St Kilda v Essendon (Saturday 28 February at 3.10pm)
- North Melbourne v Collingwood (Sunday 1 March at 3.10pm)
Tickets go on sale in February, with further details to be released in January.
Let’s make this a region-wide AFL celebration!
Think Gather Round energy and opportunity. Think business takeovers. Think thousands of footy fans turning a match ticket into a weekend adventure across Midwest Victoria.
We want visitors to stay, play, connect and cheer for the entire weekend (and we want local businesses to be part of it)!
We’re exploring content, activations and collaboration opportunities. Whether you bleed yellow and black, are a third-gen Roos fan, flock with the Pies or back the Bombers… we want to hear from you!
