North Melbourne members and fans will have more opportunities to watch their team play at the club’s Marvel Stadium home next year, with the Kangaroos set to host nine home games at the venue in 2026.

North Melbourne will open the 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season in front of its home fans, hosting Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium for Round 1.

The nine home games at Marvel Stadium represent an increase of two home games at the venue compared to previous seasons, including six games against fellow Victorian opponents.

The increase comes as the club returns two home matches to its Melbourne heartland after playing its last AFL home game in Tasmania in Round 23, 2025.

It makes for a total of 12 matches at Marvel Stadium for the season including three away games at the ground.

The Marvel Stadium games in the fixture include the Good Friday SuperClash against Carlton in Round 4. The club’s marquee match raises funds and awareness for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. 

North Melbourne also hosts the Gold Coast SUNS at the venue for the second week of Sir Doug Nicholls Round (Round 11).

It will be one of two trips to the West, with the Kangaroos also taking on West Coast at Optus Stadium in Round 2. 

North Melbourne will return to Barossa Park to take on the Brisbane Lions in Gather Round, after the club played in the first ever match at the venue in 2025.
