What Is AFL.com.au?

Updated

AFL.com.au is the official website of the Australian Football League, covering AFL and AFLW news, video, fixtures, scores and results. It is the place to go if you follow the men's Toyota AFL Premiership Season or the AFLW competition and want league-published information rather than third-party commentary.

What the site covers

The site's own description frames it as the home of "all the latest AFL news, AFL video, results, scores and information." Its published content falls into a few clear areas:

  • News and analysis — league and club stories, plus analysis pieces such as "Every club's fixture difficulty ranked 1-18."
  • Fixtures — full season schedules, including the 2027 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture, with features like Sunday night games and Friday night double headers.
  • Video — studio and panel shows, including The W Show and GETTABLE, which covers draft news.
  • AFLW coverage — team announcements, tribunal verdicts, trade news and finals scenarios.
  • Scores and results — the results side of the site's stated purpose.

Who it is for

AFL.com.au suits supporters who want official announcements and schedules in one place: fixture release details, team selections, tribunal outcomes, trade and draft reporting, and season previews. Because the material is published by the league, it is a reasonable first stop when you need to confirm a fixture, a team lineup or an official statement.

If you want independent match commentary or fan discussion, that is outside what this site is described as offering. For official league information, it is the primary source.

How to use it

  1. Open afl.com.au.
  2. Use the news feed for current stories, or go to the fixtures section for the season schedule.
  3. For women's football, follow the AFLW section, which carries its own teams, trade and tribunal coverage.
  4. Check the video section for panel shows and draft analysis.

The site also links out to related competitions — VFL, VFLW and PLAY AFL — so you can move between leagues from the same entry point.

What to keep in mind

The site is a news and information hub, not a ticketing or streaming service in itself. Where content involves tickets or events, such as the Superdraft launch event, the site points readers to the relevant destination rather than handling it directly. Treat any commercial detail as belonging to that linked destination, and confirm current arrangements there.
