Summer Series

The NEC Hangar will play host to three huge fan sessions for our Dons faithful this summer.

Essendon’s Summer Series will cater to families and younger supporters over the holiday periods with key snap-and-sign and connection opportunities to bring its members and fans closer to the Club.

The first afternoon of the series kicks off on Wednesday, December 3 with a 2:30pm open training followed by a half-an-hour signing opportunity, with fans getting the chance to grab last minute Christmas gifts at the Bomber Shop, with access to great discounts on 2025 stock. To celebrate our new players receiving their numbers, fans can also get a free number heat press on any 2026 guernsey purchase. 

The Bombers will then run it back on Wednesday, January 21 for another open-door session, with a time to be confirmed closer to the date. 

The Summer Series will culminate in a mammoth Family Day celebration on Saturday, February 7, with a stacked slate of activations set to engage the Bombers faithful in the Melbourne sun. 

More details around timings and specific activations will be communicated by the Club in the lead-up to the Summer Series.
