North Melbourne is pleased to announce a new club membership record, surpassing 60,000 members for the first time in its history.

Throughout the 2026 season, 60,231 members signed up, eclipsing the previous mark of 56,283 set last year.

The achievement highlights significant growth over recent seasons, representing an increase of nearly 10,000 members since 2024, when the club celebrated reaching 50,628 members.

The final tally also includes a record 8,344 AFLW members, who committed their support to the reigning back-to-back premiers.

A strong period of key player retention helped drive engagement across the season, with a notable influx of fans taking advantage of a special $6 membership offer following George Wardlaw’s two-year contract extension.

“Our loyal fanbase has delivered once again, and reaching 60,000 members for the first time is an achievement all Kangaroos fans should be immensely proud of,” North Melbourne CEO Jen Watt said.

“To reflect on where we were just two years ago when we were thrilled to hit 50,000 members, and to see us cross 60,000 today shows the extraordinary momentum and commitment building right across our club.

“We shared some fantastic moments together in 2026, highlighted by a memorable Good Friday SuperClash victory in front of 45,919 fans at Marvel Stadium, where we played nine home games following our transition back from Tasmania.

“We also saw incredible turnout for our double-header against Geelong, which set a new club attendance record for an AFLW match.

“On behalf of the club, thank you to every single one of our 60,231 members, we look forward to welcoming you back for 2027.”
