Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, will host the premier national championship for adult touch football at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium from Wednesday, March 4 to Saturday, March 7, 2026. The Championships are expected to attract more than 150 teams and over 6,000 participants and spectators to the four-day tournament.
According to Touch Football Australia, the 2026 competition will follow a refreshed schedule designed to keep games engaging for players and fans. Partnership documents and Destination NSW estimate the tournament generates about $5 million in local economic activity as visiting families fill hotels and restaurants in the Coffs Coast region.
Entry to the stadium precinct will be free for spectators. The tournament operates under official event conditions published by Touch Football Australia that set out competition rules, eligibility and operational arrangements to balance pathway-level competition with broader participation.
The Championships are part of a long-standing partnership between Touch Football Australia, the City of Coffs Harbour and Destination NSW; the event has been hosted in Coffs Harbour for more than two decades (hosted there in 22 of the last 25 years), delivering recurring economic benefit and increased demand for local hospitality businesses.
