From West Coast Fever to UFC 305, get your sporting fix at RAC Arena this winter

When it comes to WA we love our sunsets over the ocean, our long mac’s topped up, our brunches bottomless, and our sports – all the time.

Indeed we’re a sports-mad state in the West, and while footy season is in full swing, there’s plenty of sports action to get around outside of the AFL, and RAC Arena is bringing plenty of it over the next few months.

From global fighting extravaganzas to the national netball league with some exhibition nights thrown in, here’s what’s coming up at RAC Arena:

West Coast Fever

WA’s national netball team and the 2022 premiers West Coast Fever are back at RAC Arena for the 2024 Suncorp Super Netball Season. All seven of their home games are at RAC Arena, with game one versus the Sunshine Coast going down this Sunday. Hit RAC Arena’s What’s on for the rest of the fixtures.

IBF Lightweight World Title: Lomachenko vs Kambosos
