PORT Adelaide will travel to country New South Wales during the 2015 NAB Challenge in addition to playing two Adelaide-based games.

No finals will be played in the 2015 pre-season competition, with the Power's three games taking place throughout March, ahead of the start of the club's proper premiership season campaign on April 5.

All 2015 Port Adelaide members will be able to access each of the club's NAB Challenge games for free.

There will be a 15-day break between Port Adelaide's final NAB Challenge match and its Round 1 opener against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium.

The release of the NAB Challenge fixture comes ahead of Thursday's official confirmation of the entire 2015 Premiership Season draw.

2015 NAB Challenge fixture



In a curious twist, Port Adelaide's NAB Challenge campaign gets underway against the West Coast Eagles at Norwood Oval - the home of its traditional SANFL rival - on the second weekend of March.

Playing at suburban grounds to commence a pre-season campaign is nothing new for the Power, which kicked off its 2014 NAB Challenge against the Crows at Richmond Oval.

The opener against the Eagles will follow the club's traditional internal trial at Alberton, which should be played in the fortnight leading up to this game.

Of course, The Parade is hostile territory for Port Adelaide and its supporters, but with no broadcast of this game, the Port faithful will need to bravely converge on enemy territory to cheer the Power on against the Eagles.



Lavington is located just north of Albury on the Murray River, around 300 kilometres south-west of Canberra.

It will be the venue of Port Adelaide's second game against Richmond, as part of the competition's suite of regional visits as part of the NAB Challenge.

It will be the first time the two clubs will meet since the Power got the job done over the Tigers in the 2014 elimination final at the Adelaide Oval.

This game will be broadcast on Foxtel.



It wouldn't be a NAB Challenge without a match between South Australia's two AFL clubs, but unlike previous years where this most minor of 'Showdowns' has been the opening match, the Power and Crows will instead close their pre-season accounts against each other.

With the Adelaide Oval unavailable, AAMI Stadium will host the match between the two rivals, with the final pre-season shakedown sure to draw a crowd yet again.

This game will be broadcast on Foxtel.
