Heading to a game?

YHA has properties within convenient distance of all the biggest stadiums in Australia, letting you travel on a budget and making a trip to support your team easier than ever. With YHA's affordable accommodation options, you'll have more cash to spare for beer and a pie at the game!

SYDNEY

Situated right by Central Station and with light rail just feet from the front door, this property is your gateway to all the footy action in Sydney. Whether you're venturing to The Shire to cheer on the Sharks or heading out to the SCG to see the Swans, the team at Sydney Central YHA or Railway Square YHA have a comfy bed and fast, free WIFI ready and waiting for you. For Manly Sea Eagles supporters there is also Collarory Beach House. 

CANBERRA

Take the stress out of accommodation and stay in the heart of the city at Canberra City YHA. Don't forget to take advantage of the free game-day buses the city puts on for all Raider's home games at GIO Stadium!  

NEWCASTLE

Combine a game with a stay at the beach! With Newcastle Beach YHA, a quick bus ride to McDonald Jones Stadium is all it takes to catch an afternoon game after catching a wave in the morning!

BRISBANE & GOLD COAST

See the Brisbane Lions at The Gabba or the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, and stay smack bang in the middle of town at Brisbane City YHA! Plus, the rooftop is perfect for enjoying some pre-game beers.

The Gold Coast, home to the Titans and the Suns, is not to be forgotten. For games in the region, pick Coolangatta YHA as your base.

ADELAIDE

Adelaide Central YHA is just a 15-minute walk from Adelaide Oval, home of Port Adelaide Power and the Adelaide Crows. Book a bed and cheer your team to victory!

MELBOURNE

A total of 10 AFL teams call Victoria home, as well as 4x NRL Premiers Melbourne Storm - YHA has room for you at Melbourne Metro YHA to get you amongst the action while taking in the sights of the city while you're there.

PERTH

Optus Stadium hosts home games for the Fremantle Dockers and West Coast Eagles in the AFL. Getting to the stadium couldn't be easier from Perth City YHA, whether you choose to walk, cycle, take the train or bus, or even the ferry! Stay out of the city at Fremantle Prison YHA and catch Route 659 to the stadium. 

AUCKLAND
