2027 PLAYER ENROLMENT FEES
Following consultation with the Football Queensland Congress, the Football Queensland Board has decided to retain the existing 2026 fee structure for the 2027 season, with modest adjustments to reflect inflation and changes to the treatment of transaction and technology costs.
What this means for 2027 fees
Football Queensland will retain the familiar fee structure used in previous seasons, including individual player enrolment fees and applicable team and license fees.
The 2027 player enrolment fees will include two adjustments:
- Transaction and technology costs: Following changes to card surcharging rules, costs previously charged separately at checkout will now be incorporated into the published FQ player enrolment fee. These costs are not additional revenue retained by Football Queensland.
- A modest fee adjustment: After more than seven years without an increase to player enrolment fees, a modest adjustment will help maintain the delivery of statewide football services and programs while continuing to keep football affordable.
2027 STATEWIDE TEAM FEES
In addition to changes to the 2027 Football Queensland enrolment fee, community team fees will increase by approximately $2 per player on average.

The Queensland Premier League and FQ Academy League team fees will be released separately and directly to clubs across each region, and will also be displayed in the Participation License approval process in Squadi.
These fees reflect a 6% increase on 2026 which is reflective of a low base and the extensive inflationary pressures across the game.
Following feedback from the community and after further consultation with the Football Queensland Congress, the FQ Board has confirmed it will retain the existing 2026 fee structure for the 2027 season.
After seven years without an increase to player enrolment fees, modest adjustments have been made for 2027 to reflect inflation and changes in how transaction and technology costs are treated. We know decisions like these have a real impact on people across our game.
We are committed to acting in the best interests of the game, while listening carefully to our community. We won’t always get things right, and in this case we accept that we could have done better. When we need to, we are prepared to do things differently, reconsider our approach and keep working towards the best outcome for football across Queensland.
