NAB Challenge Fixture 2015

The 2015 NAB Challenge kicks off at the end of February with a game in our hometown, Launceston, between the Hawks and the Magpies. This match will be on Thursday night with a fixture on each of the Thursday nights of the four week pre-season ‘competition’. Maybe something we might see in the future for the AFL with a preference for Thursday night games over Sunday or Monday nights.

There will be one footy-free weekend between the challenge and round one.

Mark these dates in your diary as the NAB Challenge is one of the most important parts of our AFL Fantasy pre-season. We’ll be running plenty of content with all of the scores and info you need to know over each of these games with analysis that will be integral to your pre-season study.

The full 2015 home and away fixture will be released on Thursday. Check back to DT Talk for a look at what we need to know for Fantasy in 2015. That is, when the byes are, how round one looks, partial lockouts, etc.
