Football is just around the corner and the NAB Challenge will give Bulldogs fans the first opportunity to see the playing group take the field under new Senior Coach Luke Beveridge.

The 2015 NAB Challenge will also see AFL football return to Victoria University Whitten Oval, with the Western Bulldogs to host Richmond at the Kennel on Saturday, 28 February, 4.40pm.

The Western Bulldogs will also face Melbourne (4:10pm EDT, Saturday, 14 March 2015) at Ballarat’s Eureka Stadium and Collingwood (7:10pm, Saturday, 21 March 2015) at Etihad Stadium to round out our three pre-season match fixture.

New in season 2015, Western Bulldogs members will also have the additional benefit of accessing* NAB Challenge matches as part of their membership. This means members will be able to scan their membership card at the gate to gain entry subject to capacity.

For the Club’s  match against Richmond at Whitten Oval, members are encouraged to upgrade their membership to a general admission ticket to guarantee entry due to the grounds limited capacity and the expected demand. 

Members can upgrade via Ticketmaster by entering their membership barcode and paying the small member upgrade fee to ensure entry on match day. 

Club members have exclusive access to a pre-sale period, operating from 9:00am – 5:00pm, Wednesday 28 January. 

NAB Challenge tickets will then go on-sale to the general public from 9:00am, Thursday 29 January.

Membership upgrades are available on a first come, first served basis. If venue capacity is reached through member ticket upgrades and general admission ticket sales prior to game day, members will not be able to scan in on the day.

Over 7000 people flocked to VU Whitten Oval earlier in the year to watch the Footscray Bulldogs defeat Williamstown in the VFL Qualifying Final, with the NAB Challenge fixture expected to pack the suburban football hub of Melbourne’s West.

*Additional fees and charges may apply. Entry is subject to capacity and may not be guaranteed.
