Footy Colours Day is a national fundraising event in September where thousands of Aussies come together, proudly sport their team's colours, and raise money so kids don't fight cancer alone.

Now Footy Colours Day is back for 2026. Pick a date, sign up for free, and rally your team. It’s simple to kick-start it!

REGISTER YOUR EVENT

Choose any date you'd like to host your Footy Colours Day, register for free, and then spread the word to get your teammates, colleagues, friends or students onside!

GAME ON!

Have a screamer of a day with games, afternoon tea, a sausage sizzle, or anything else that will get your team excited - just make sure to wear your colours with pride!

RAISE VITAL FUNDS!

The money you raise on the day goes directly to the Fight Cancer Foundation. You'll be helping kids kick cancer by funding family accommodation and supporting vital research.

Your impact

Being diagnosed with cancer as a child changes everything. School. playing with friends, and sports are replaced by the scary world of cancer treatments - often far from home and usually for more than six months. Finding accommodation during that time can be an enormous financial and emotional stress for a family.

But you can help give families the accommodation they need to stay together.

By hosting a Footy Colours Day and raising money, you'll be helping provide families with a place to stay during treatment - so they can fight cancer as a team.

No child should have to face cancer alone.
