The Allan Labor Government will light up Fed Square in green and gold as Victoria’s official live site for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games – showing all the action including the much-anticipated Matilda’s matches.
Minister for Creative Industries Colin Brooks today joined Olympic legends Mack Horton and Alistair Donohoe to announce that for the first time Fed Square will screen the live action, replays and highlights every day of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Following the unprecedented interest in the recent women’s FIFA World Cup matches, entry to Fed Square will be ticketed for all Matilda’s matches with temporary fencing around the Square and bag checks upon entry. Tickets are free but you do need to register online – they will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
Registration opens today for the first three Matilda matches and people of all ages are invited to register.
The live site is presented in partnership with the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), Paralympics Australia (PA) and Channel Nine, and with the support of Brisbane 2032.
The Fed Square Olympics and Paralympics live site will screen every day of the Olympic and Paralympic action with highlights and replays on the big screen from 12pm to 4pm daily, followed by Nine’s live broadcast from 4pm to 10pm.
The Olympics starts on 26 July and runs until 11 August. The Paralympics will run from 28 August until 8 September. For the full schedule of Olympic and Paralympic events that will screen live and to register for tickets to the Matilda’s matches visit
