Footy fever takes over at Macca’s!

26 February 2025

Let’s kick off the season together with our first ever AFL Happy Meal

26 February 2025: Footy fever is back and Macca’s is kicking it off with Australia’s FIRST EVER AFL Happy Meal!

Footy Fans, get ready to lace up your boots and tackle your tastebuds with a Happy Meal for every team dropping over the next five weeks.

From Thursday, 27 February, fans of all ages can score their very own AFL Happy Meal, packed with exclusive AFL goodies. Each meal comes with awesome collectibles, including limited edition AFL bag clips, skills cards and stickers.

So, whether you’re repping the Brisbane Lions or Sydney Swans, barrack for Carlton, cheer on the Fremantle Dockers, or back Essendon or Geelong Cats, we have a meal for you.

But wait, there’s more! For the ultimate super-fans, we’ve got TWO AFL/AFLW plush mini Sherrin footballs up for grabs.

Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia, said: “We’re here for every kick, mark and tackle, as we fuel the passion of footy fans across Australia - whether it's a pre-game bite or a post-game reward.

“Footy is more than just a game. It’s about mateship, family, and creating shared memories, and we want to make those moments even better.

“It’s time to grab your teammates, show your team pride and join the footy fun, because AFL Happy Meal is here to serve up more joy than a last-minute goal. We all know the ultimate match- day ritual is Macca’s.”

Bec Haagsma, AFL Executive General Manager Customer and Commercial, said: “Macca’s is a valued long-term partner of the AFL, and we are very excited to see the new AFL Happy Meal launch in an Australian first!

“The Macca’s Happy Meal has been a favourite for Aussie kids for as long as I can remember - when my five children were younger, discovering the Macca’s Happy Meal collectibles was always a great moment. Being able to pair this with footy colours was a no-brainer for the AFL and we are proud to see this come to life with Macca’s.

Brodie Grundy, Sydney Swans AFL player, said: “Macca’s AFL Happy Meal is going to help footy fans experience the excitement of the game beyond the field – right on time for the 2025 season kick-off!

“2025 will be an epic year of footy with registrations open now for community football at all levels, and Opening Round commencing on 6 March in NSW and QLD. We can’t wait to experience another year of partnership with Macca’s.”

“Whether you’re watching from home or cheering from the sidelines, I’ve no doubt this AFL Happy Meal is going to help create unforgettable moments and memories for footy fans and families across Australia.”

Macca’s AFL Happy Meal is available nationwide from Thursday 27 February 2025 until Tuesday 1 April 2025, with new teams released every week – you’ll just have to pay us a visit to find out when your team is being drafted into Macca’s. Game on!
