Where Essendon play their home games

Full home-and-away season, including Gather Round home designations. Ground counts do not establish ticket or membership access.

Who Essendon play more than once

Repeat opponents in the listed home-and-away season; finals are excluded.

Two Dreamtime matches to distinguish

Essendon’s Richmond meetings include Dreamtime at the ’G and Dreamtime at Maali in Perth. The latter is an Essendon home fixture at Optus Stadium. Check the ground, home side and local date for each rather than treating both as Melbourne games.

MCG occasions and the Marvel programme

The Bombers begin with a run of MCG appearances, including their Sydney home opener and the Anzac Day meeting with Collingwood. Marvel Stadium hosts another part of the home programme. A ground filter and a home filter answer different questions and can be used together.

A Perth trip with more than one game

The official fixture places a West Coast away meeting after Dreamtime at Maali. Supporters considering both should check each match separately, especially while a later date remains TBC. A confirmed first game does not establish the day or time of the next one.

Essendon fixture questions

Is Dreamtime at Maali an Essendon home game?

Yes, the fixture designates Essendon as the home side at Optus Stadium. The playing city is Perth, despite that home label.

Can I see both Dreamtime fixtures together?

Choose Richmond in Opponent and leave the ground and dates unrestricted. The match cards identify the different venues.

Does every early MCG game count as a Bombers home game?

No. The MCG is also used for away fixtures. Use the current club’s Home games selection rather than counting MCG appearances.

Should I book a return trip around a TBC game?

A listed opponent does not confirm a travel date. Wait for that match’s day and first bounce before relying on it for a fixed itinerary.
