North Melbourne Kangaroos 2026 Fixtures: Every Game, Every Round Date, Start-Times, full schedule, venues

GOOD: This is a golden draw for North Melbourne, who are in desperate need of a spike up the ladder after some very down years. In terms of double-ups (which factors in percentages), the Roos have their four easiest possible match-ups in 2026 including West Coast, Richmond, Essendon and Port Adelaide. Four of their first six matches (including Gather Round) are at Marvel Stadium which means they could certainly start the new year with a bang.

BAD: Taking on Geelong twice is less than ideal given they haven’t beaten them since the beginning of 2015, losing 14 straight, while Sydney also figures to pose some problems despite ending last season in 10th. It probably doesn’t really matter given they’re highly unlikely to play finals anyway, but just one game at the MCG in 2026 for the Roos. They’ll also return to Hands Oval to take on Fremantle in round 13 and Optus Stadium to play the Eagles in round 14 as a part of their Western Australia agreement. Last year beating the Eagles meant that deal wasn’t a competitive disadvantage so we’ll see how it works out this time.

Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): Easiest
