North Melbourne will have the chance to start strongly, playing at home in four of the opening five rounds. 

The Roos will begin the season at Marvel Stadium for the first time since 2017, when they take on St Kilda.

A trip to Brisbane awaits in Round 2, with the two sides facing off again in Hobart in Round 13.

Good Friday now looks set to be a permanent fixture for North, with the Dogs returning to the slot after featuring in the first ‘Kick for the Kids’ in 2017.
