NFL Australia: Jai Arrow, Nick Daicos, Dannii Minogue among celebrities at MCG for blockbuster game
Not even celebrities are immune to the NFL fever that has gripped Australia on Friday.
American football has made its Down Under debut at the MCG as the Los Angeles Rams battle the San Francisco 49ers in a highly-anticipated showdown.
The Melbourne stadium was greeted with stellar performances by Cody Simpson and the Jonas Brothers — but they were far from the only A-listers attending the match.
Superstars from Jai Arrow to Dannii Minogue were among the Aussie celebs spotted diving into the spirit of the American sport, posing with NFL balls and dressed head-to-toe in team apparel.
Here is every star who has been spotted at the NFL’s first match on Aussie soil:
Australian royalty has officially entered the MCG after revered actress and singer Dannii Minogue was spotted at the busy Melbourne stadium. The I Begin to Wonder singer posed with a NFL ball in front of a branded media wall — with the star rocking a white NFL Melbourne T-short paired with a 49ers scarf and a burgundy leather jacket.

Aussie singer and songwriter G Flip also arrived at the Victorian stadium decked out in NFL gear. The 32-year-old performer arrived for Friday’s match in head-to-toe Rams merchandise — donning a jersey, a bomber jacket, and a flat brimmed cap all in the Los Angeles team’s signature blue and gold colours.

American singer and former Australian Idol judge Harry Connick Jr was snapped attending the debut game alongside his three daughters Georgia, Sarah, and Charlotte. While most of the Australian-based family donned blue and gold attire in support of the LA Rams, daughter Kate mixed things up by arriving in an Essendon jersey. Picture: Morgan Hancock/Getty Images
Just one week after his emotional final game, Rabbitohs superstar Jai Arrow and his wife Berina enjoyed a couples day out at the MCG to watch the debut NFL game. Arrow leaned into the 49ers colours, arriving with all-red attire, as his wife wore white wide-leg jeans and a jersey with the number for 49ers tight end George Kittle.

An iconic AFL family dynasty were among the thousands of fans at the NFL match on Friday, with 1990 premiership player Peter Daicos photographed on the carpet with his Collingwood player sons Josh and Nick Daicos. They may be used to being on the field instead of the stands at the MCG, but the family was all smiles as they posed in light blue and black button-up shirts. Picture: Morgan Hancock/Getty Images
He may be Australia’s most decorated Winter Olympian, but Scotty James showed that he’ll support any sport. The retired snowboarder kept it lowkey in a green bomber jacket as he arrived at the MCG alongside his girlfriend, Canadian singer Chloe Stroll. Picture: Morgan Hancock/Getty Images
