Create a My Ticketmaster account and buy at ticketmaster.com.au/NFL. Sale phases: Amex presale 2026-04-01 09:00 AEDT; MCC members presale 2026-04-01 10:00 AEDT; Sportsnet Holidays ticket+hotel packages 2026-04-06 10:00 AEST; hospitality 2026-04-07 10:00 AEST; general public on-sale 2026-04-08 10:00 AEST

## Your odds

No ballot: access depended on queue position at each timed on-sale. MCG holds roughly 100,000, the largest venue on the 2026 international slate, so supply is far larger than the European games. Tickets were still purchasable via Ticketmaster AU in mid-2026

## Good to know

First NFL regular-season game in Australia. Despite the MCG/Ticketek ballot tradition for other MCG events, the NFL used Ticketmaster Australia with straight first-come-first-served timed on-sales, no random draw. An earlier register-of-interest (NFL Melbourne ROI email signup, open since the Oct 2024 announcement) provided updates/presale alerts only, not a ballot. All tickets mobile-only via Ticketmaster app. Multi-year Victoria deal: a 2027 Melbourne game is also confirmed
