Ballarat’s return after the 2026 changes

The Bulldogs’ 2027 release brings AFL premiership games back to Mars Stadium. Reports about home-and-away games leaving Ballarat concerned the previous season’s redevelopment arrangements. Use the current match cards rather than an old relocation notice when deciding whether there is footy in Ballarat.

The Suns and Giants visits

Gold Coast and GWS are the visitors named in the Bulldogs’ Ballarat programme. One early-season game can have a fixed first bounce while a later match-up remains TBC. An announced opponent and ground do not establish a travel date; wait for the individual card to show one.

A separate regional matchday

Ballarat is a separate destination from Melbourne, even though the Bulldogs play much of their home programme at Marvel. Follow the official venue and club event information for admission, accessibility and transport. Do not carry earlier redevelopment seating or parking arrangements into a new-season booking.
