The Brisbane Lions have eclipsed 85,000 members for the first time, marking a 55 per cent increase across the three-peat Premiership seasons of 2024, 2025 and 2026.

The milestone reflects the growing demand to be part of the Club, as the Lions balance the needs of an expanding membership base with a long-term focus on building support ahead of the move to the new Victoria Park stadium in 2033.

Brisbane Lions, Chief Executive Officer, Sam Graham said the milestone belonged to the members whose support underpinned the Club.

“Members are the lifeblood of our Club. The support and belief our members have shown this season has been on another level,” Graham said.

“Whether at a full house at the Gabba, or at one of our away games interstate, our members have shown up in droves to get behind us, right across the country.

“To have the support of 85,103 members is a significant moment for the Club and a credit to everyone who has been part of our journey.

“We are so fortunate to have thousands of loyal members who have stood with us for decades, but we have also welcomed many new members for the first time this year.

“Given our challenges managing demand at the Gabba, we must continue to evolve our membership program and packages to respond to increased demand and provide different ways for people to be part of the Lions family

“Our move to the new Victoria Park stadium in 2033 gives us a clear opportunity to build for the future.

“To every one of our members, thank you for your belief, we are extremely grateful for your support.”
