The NAB Challenge allows fans from around Australia access to elite level football in their own backyards with 27 matches in 21 regional and metropolitan centres scheduled for the four weeks of competition.

Running from Thursday February 18, through to Sunday March 13, the NAB Challenge will see all 18 teams playing three games in total – two in the first three weeks and a final match each in the fourth week.

Every match across the opening three weeks will be played at regional or suburban venues around the country, while the fourth and final week will see matches staged at metropolitan AFL venues to maximise team preparations ahead of the 2016 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.

The NAB Challenge will again see nine points awarded for a NAB Supergoal kicked from outside the 50m arc. For every NAB Supergoal kicked, NAB will donate $500 worth of Sherrin footballs to the goal kicker’s junior football club.

For the first time in NAB Challenge history, all 27 matches will be exclusively broadcast LIVE on FOX FOOTY, and in addition, every match will also be available to fans via the AFL Live App thanks to Telstra.

To support the recent bushfire victims across South Australia, Western Australia and Victoria, fans have the opportunity to bid on match-worn and player signed guernseys from selected NAB Challenge matches. Visit ShopAFL and help support local communities – www.shop.afl.com.au

Fans are at the forefront of NAB Challenge and have the opportunity to participate in kick-to-kick on the ground post-match (weather permitting) at regional venues over the first three weeks of competition.

In a continuation of the initiative introduced for the 2015 NAB Challenge, AFL and Club members with game access will be entitled to attend this year’s NAB Challenge matches free of charge, subject to availability.
