IT’S NEARLY here.

Your chance to see Carlton’s final hitout before the season proper will come in the AAMI Community Series, when the Blues host the Cats at IKON Park.

The AFL has confirmed ticket details for the pre-season fixture, which will go on sale on Wednesday 4 February.

Launching at 12pm AEDT for members and then 3pm AEDT for the general public, the clash with the Cats will take place eight days before Carlton opens the season against Sydney.

Tickets will be available from this link.

Members (both club and AFL) as well as kids under 14 will have free general admission access, and simply need to scan their 2026 membership on match day to enter the venue.

General admission for non-members is $20 for adults.

For those who aren’t able to make it, the game will be broadcast on FOX Footy and Kayo Sports - as will Carlton’s match simulation against Brisbane the week prior.

The game will take place at 7:10pm from IKON Park, with more than a few new faces likely for the Blues after an off-season which saw eight new players arrive on Royal Parade.
