The school holidays might be a good time to catch a game of footy with the family, thanks to a returning AFL initiative.

The Kids Go Free Month initiative will run during Rounds 16 – 19 of the Premiership season, giving thousands of children a chance to catch a game for free.

AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial Kylie Rogers said Kids Go Free Month was a perfect activity for families to enjoy during the school holidays.

“The AFL is committed to making our game accessible for everyone to enjoy, so we’re proud to bring back Kids Go Free Month to help ease the cost-of-living pressures for families across the country,” Ms. Rogers said.

There’s nothing quite like getting your friends and family together and soaking up the exciting atmosphere that only live footy can provide, so I’d encourage footy fans of all ages to snap up a ticket and get amongst all the action these school holidays.”

Kids aged 14 years under will have free entry to AFL games played from 29 June to 23 July over the term two school holidays.

Nominated ticket categories will have junior tickets be free and each match across Kids Go Free Month will help families save up to $28 for a junior ticket at various stadiums across the country.

Tickets for matches at the MCG and Marvel Stadium for Rounds 16-23 will go on sale at 10am (local time) for Club Members and 3pm (local time) for General Public on Thursday June 8.
