Where Melbourne play their home games

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

Who Melbourne play more than once

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

Jim’s Game and the MCG occasions

The Sydney meeting is the club’s Jim’s Game occasion, honouring Jim Stynes and supporting the foundation named for him. Anzac Day Eve against Richmond and King’s Birthday against Collingwood are separate fixtures. Their match links keep the three occasions distinct.

Home footy beyond the MCG

Melbourne’s fixture includes a home match in Alice Springs at TIO Traeger Park as well as its Victorian home programme. Selecting Home games does not mean every result is in Melbourne. The ground distribution below shows exactly where the club is designated host.

Follow the Dees, not just the city name

A Melbourne team page follows the Demons wherever they play. The Melbourne city guide instead lists games played in that city, including fixtures without the Dees. Use the club calendar for Melbourne Football Club and ground filters when planning a visit.
