Three AFL pre-season games, six Victorian teams, three massive days.
Ballarat's Mars Stadium is set to host three footy matches as part of the 2026 AFL Community Series:
- 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.
"The AAMI Community Series gives fans a great chance to see their teams and new players in action before the season begins," AFL head of strategy and scheduling Josh Bowler said.
"We're especially excited to host three of the nine games in Ballarat, giving local fans the chance to enjoy elite football in their backyard while the redevelopment of Mars Stadium continues."
