From exclusive private corporate boxes to premium dining and lounge packages, our team can help you find the ideal setting to entertain clients, reward staff or enjoy a blockbuster AFL match with friends.

The Hawks and Lions will launch their 2027 AFL campaigns with a Friday night blockbuster at the MCG, renewing a rivalry that delivered one of the most dramatic finishes of the 2026 finals series.

Brisbane enters the new season chasing a fourth consecutive premiership, while Hawthorn will be looking to take the next step after falling agonisingly short of a Grand Final appearance in 2026.

Their most recent meeting at the MCG came in the 2026 preliminary final, when Brisbane defeated Hawthorn by nine points, 20.11 (131) to 19.8 (122), in front of 97,835 spectators. Hugh McCluggage kicked the decisive goal in the closing stages to secure the Lions’ place in the Grand Final.

With the Hawks seeking redemption and Brisbane determined to maintain its dominance, this Round 1 encounter promises an outstanding atmosphere and a memorable occasion for corporate entertaining.
