ANZAC Day Eve Match - Melbourne v Richmond

The ANZAC Day Eve match at the MCG is more than a game of footy. Now in its tenth year, this deeply moving tradition blends tribute, community, and sport into one unforgettable evening. Held on the eve of ANZAC Day, it's Melbourne and Richmond's unique way of honouring the men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our country with courage and sacrifice. Each year, Melbourne faces off against Richmond in their historic rivalry, but the ANZAC Day Eve game offers something special, no matter where your allegiance lies. Whether you're a die-hard supporter or simply looking for a meaningful experience, this night is one to remember. It's a moment that lingers with you—the collective energy, the sense of unity, the shared breath that binds everyone together. You don't need to be up at dawn. You don't even have to follow the footy. But if you're looking to witness an event that brings people together, honours our past, and showcases the true spirit of Melbourne—this is the night you don't want to miss.
