TAILGATE Fest. Sydney 2026

TAILGATE Fest returns to Sydney in 2026 – bigger, bolder and louder than ever.

After an unforgettable debut in 2025, the party is heading to The Ivy for the first time – two epic levels packed with big screens, thundering sound and non-stop game day energy.

Big Game Live & Loud
Giant screens with thunderous sound and lighting, plus smaller screens across both levels so you never miss a second of the action.

Unrivalled Entertainment
Cheerleaders, acrobatic performers, pyrotechnics. DJs, guest hosts, sports personalities and maybe even a player or two. It’s wall-to-wall action from the opening kick to the final whistle.

All-American Eats
Reserved Table and Booth guests will be treated to an American feast loaded with game-day favourites and crowd-pleasing classics.
For those in the Wild Card Party Arena, The Ivy will be serving up American-inspired eats all day long, pay-as-you-go style.

Drinks Flowing All Day
Budweiser buckets, Carlton Dry stubbies, Hard Rated cans and cocktails to keep the party rolling.

Competitions, Giveaways and Merch
Throwing comps, tipping comps, DiDi Orange Gatorade challenges, free merch and prizes from partners like Budweiser, DiDi and Hard Rated.
Plus, exclusive TAILGATE jerseys and merch stalls so you can take home a piece of the action.

Get the crew organised and review all ticket packages before they drop.
