2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season

Sat 21 Mar

Optus Stadium

 

The 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership season kicks off in March and runs until the end of August. Additional services will operate to get you to and from every match.

Your footy ticket includes travel on all Transperth services for three hours either side the game. Simply show your event ticket to the driver or inspector if asked.

Keep in mind, you must have your footy ticket on you to travel for no extra cost. If you’re planning on collecting your ticket at the venue, you will need to pay a normal fare to get there.

To ensure a smooth entry into the game, download your ticket to your phone wallet so it's ready to scan at the turnstiles.

For weekend games, direct inbound trains on the Yanchep and Mandurah lines, in addition to the Suburban Event Bus Network will operate to get you to and from games. Direct trains on the Fremantle Line will also operate after the game to get you home.

If you're driving to one of our stations parking is free on weekends and public holiday, if your event is on a weekday you will still need to pay for parking. For more information click here.

Plan your journey using the Transperth JourneyPlanner before you travel.
