Collingwood will play 14 games at the MCG in 2016 as it continues to push its way back into finals contention. 

In the release of the AFL fixture on Thursday morning, it was revealed that the Magpies will start their season on Saturday 26 March in Sydney, before concluding with a showdown against Hawthorn. 

Collingwood Chief Executive Officer Gary Pert said that the scheduling provides a platform to succeed in 2016. 

"We couldn’t have asked for much more with the fixture. I think it’s a really good one," Pert told Collingwood Media.

"It’s certainly the most fan-friendly I’ve seen in the last few years, which is great news."
