What's On

Round 7 is a celebration of legacy, as we honour the iconic 1986 Premiership team in a special reunion that brings past and present together. Relive one of the Club’s greatest eras as the heroes of ’86 are recognised throughout the day, including a Lap of Honour in their premiership varsity jackets.

Fans can take a walk down memory lane with the Eels History Walk in the precinct, showcasing legendary moments and figures from our proud history. Head into the Parra Leagues Club pre-game for a special Q&A with members of the 1986 team, sharing stories and insights from their unforgettable premiership run.

Adding to the atmosphere, fan flags will be in full swing thanks to James Hardie, who also return at half time with the fan-favourite Boot It or Bank It activation.

With the Bulldogs in town, expect a fierce rivalry clash packed with emotion, nostalgia and high-energy footy.

Pre-Game Fan March

For the 2026 season, fans can show their Parra Pride by joining in on our Fan March. Be part of a new game day tradition as the Blue & Gold Army marches together into the stadium. Build the hype, show your colours and arrive ready for kickoff. Everyone who joins the march will receive a free Blue & Gold flag to wave as we walk in together.

Timings: Meet outside the Parra Leagues Club multi-story car park at 3:20pm, with the March to start at 3:30pm.
