With Essendon’s season closer to its opening bounce on March 8 – their first ever Opening Round outing – the Club’s Events and Hospitality fixture is also set to kick off.

The Dons are pleased to be returning to several primetime slots in 2025, including at least four Thursday night, four Friday night and two Saturday matches locked in.

Returning from the Gold Coast clash for three consecutive games in Melbourne, the Bombers will then celebrate the 25-year anniversary of its historic 2000 Premiership team against the Demons during Gather Round, as well as a special Hall of Fame event later in the year.

In terms of marquee matches, the club will host Dreamtime at the ‘G and the Country Festival as home games, while the annual Anzac Day and King’s Birthday Eve clashes will be away matches.
