Round 1 v North Melbourne
7:35pm Saturday 15 March, Marvel Stadium (H)
A home Saturday night fixture for the first time in six years will be sure to get Bulldogs fans up and about in 2025. Also marking the first prime-time meeting against the Kangaroos in front of a crowd since 2018 (they faced off on a Saturday night during the 2020 lockdown), the Dogs will also be eager to meet familiar face Caleb Daniel in his new colours.
Round 2 v Collingwood
7.40pm Friday 21 March, MCG (H)
The Dogs will celebrate their 100th anniversary into the V/AFL with a home match against Collingwood at the MCG. Hosting a home-and-away game on the hallowed turf for the first time since 2009, the prospect of surpassing the Club’s 68,447 home-and-away attendance record is well within arm’s reach.
Round 6 v St Kilda
7.20pm Sunday 20 April, Marvel Stadium (H)
A clash in the new Sunday night timeslot is another Dogs’ fans won’t want to miss. The Bulldogs will be sure to give Jack Macrae - who crossed to St Kilda this Trade Period - a frosty reception at the first centre bounce, while giving the red, white and blue something further reason to celebrate on Easter Sunday.
Round 8 v Port Adelaide
1.20pm Saturday 3 May, Mars Stadium (H)
The Bulldogs will head up the highway to Ballarat, hosting the Power at the start of May. Boasting four wins from their five most recent meetings there, the hosts will be keen to keep the good times rolling in the Eureka City.

Round 10 v Essendon
7.35pm Saturday 17 May, Marvel Stadium (H)
The Dogs will host Essendon in the first week of Sir Doug Nicholls Round under Saturday night lights at Marvel Stadium. If the 2024 fixture is anything to go by, patrons can expect plenty both on and off the field. With an excerpt of 37, a play by Trawlwoolway Pakana playwright Nathan Maynard as part of the pre-game entertainment this year, the Bulldogs will be looking to bring their match-day to even more life next year.
Round 13 v Hawthorn
7.30pm Thursday 5 June, Marvel Stadium (H)
The Dogs and Hawks will launch the Kings Birthday long weekend with a Thursday night outing at Marvel. A win for the red, white and blue would be sure to start the long weekend on a high, while also obtaining some revenge for the 2024 Elimination Final.
