The Cats have broken their club membership record once again in 2026, with 92,563 memberships and counting 

The Geelong Football Club has broken its membership record for the sixth consecutive year, surpassing 92,500 members in 2026 and eclipsing last year's record total of 92,379 members.  

After setting a new Club record in 2025, Geelong has continued its remarkable growth, reaching a new all-time high with memberships continuing to climb.  

The milestone marks the third consecutive season the Cats have surpassed 90,000 members, with more than 14,000 new members joining the Club in 2026. 

Geelong Football Club CEO Steve Hocking said the achievement was a testament to the passion, loyalty and commitment of Cats members.  

"To every Cats member, thank you," Hocking said.  

"To break our membership record for a sixth consecutive year is an outstanding achievement and one that belongs to our members." 

"Whether you attend every game at GMHBA Stadium, support us from elsewhere around Victoria, or follow the Cats interstate or overseas, your loyalty and commitment continue to strengthen our Club." 

"To have more than 92,500 members standing with us in 2026 is something we are incredibly proud of and grateful for and this record is a reflection of the connection people feel with our football club." 

The Cats' membership base continues to have a strong connection to the region, with 35.5 per cent of members residing in the Geelong region and 76 per cent based in Victoria. 

Throughout 2026, the Club has continued to invest in enhancing the membership experience, introducing Cats Points, a new loyalty program that rewards members with exclusive experiences and behind-the-scenes access.  

Members have also benefited from the introduction of Cats Credit, the expansion of the seat return program, significant enhancements to the Social Club, and a range of exclusive rewards and initiatives across the season. 

As memberships continue to grow, the Club extends its sincere thanks to its 92,563 members and counting for their unwavering support and contribution to the Geelong Football Club. 

With AFLW memberships still available and the Cats' AFLW season underway, membership numbers are expected to continue rising as more supporters join the Club in 2026.
