The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are heading to Melbourne with the first ever NFL game at the MCG on Friday 11 September.
This is a major moment for our city, and a huge opportunity for Port Phillip’s pubs, bars and hospo operators to tap into increased visitation, fan energy and game‑day spend.

Visit Melbourne is hosting a webinar for hospitality businesses to outline:
* How they’ll drive engagement across Melbourne and key precincts
* What promotional activity is planned to attract locals and visitors
* Ways your venue can leverage the event - from themed offers to extended trading
* How to align with fan behaviour to maximise foot traffic and spend

If you’re a Port Phillip hospo business, this is your chance to get ahead of the wave and make the most of a global sporting moment landing right on our doorstep.
