ALL 2026 AFL MATCHES
About
The 2026 AFL Season is sure to be one of the most exciting seasons in the 125 year history of this great game.
As the AFL world eagerly awaits the start of the 2026 season, teams are gearing up for the challenges that lie ahead. The unbalanced 24-game fixture promises a unique journey for each club, with some facing a tougher road than others.
The 2025 season reshaped expectations heading into 2026, especially for clubs that weathered the toughest fixture loads. Teams like Sydney, the Western Bulldogs, and Geelong were forced through gruelling stretches last year, yet still managed to stay in the finals conversation. Their performances under pressure highlighted exactly the type of resilience that will matter even more in 2026.
In contrast, Essendon, Adelaide, and Carlton enjoyed more favourable fixture runs in 2025, translating into noticeable win-rate gains and renewed optimism. With the new schedule available now, it looks like the 2026 season will bring new rivalries and more intense matches across the board - making it a season to see live.
And, one of the most notable changes we’ve seen in 2025 in preparation for 2026 is the introduction of the 2026 Wildcard Finals, - which will mean fixture difficulty becomes an even sharper competitive factor. The extra pathway into September means more teams will remain in the hunt deeper into the year, and any advantage - or disadvantage - in a club’s fixture could be the difference between locking in a Wildcard berth or missing the expanded finals series altogether.
The 2026 AFL Premiership Season will be the hottest tickets in town and The Ticket Merchant will have a wide range of seats available for all the biggest matches this year. Do not miss out.
