It’s been more than eight months since we last played at Marvel Stadium in front of our loyal members and fans, and we can't wait to welcome you back for our Round 2 clash against the Blues.
Here's everything you need to know to ensure that you're game day ready.
The Bulldogs take on Carlton on Thursday, March 24 at Marvel Stadium, with the fixture kicking off at 7.20pm AEST.
Premiership captain Easton Wood will begin proceedings with a lap of honour as we celebrate his career as a Bulldog at 6.50pm. We'd love to see as many fans as possible in their seats from this time to help give Easton the farewell he deserves.
Further details are below, including the all-important digital ticketing information for our members.
