What Leagues and Quick Links Are Available on AFL.com.au?
Updated
AFL.com.au provides quick links to four football competitions — AFL, AFLW, VFL and VFLW — plus a PLAY AFL entry, a video section, and navigation to news, fixtures, scores and results. The site's own quick-links bar is the fastest way to jump between the men's and women's leagues and the state-league competitions, while the main news feed and fixture pages sit one level deeper.
The four league quick links
The quick-links area lists each competition by name. Use these when you already know which league you want and just need to switch sections:
| Quick link | What it covers on the site |
|---|---|
| AFL | Men's premiership news, fixtures, scores and results |
| AFLW | Women's competition news, teams and match coverage |
| VFL | Victorian Football League state competition |
| VFLW | Victorian Football League Women's competition |
The page evidence also shows a PLAY AFL link alongside these, which is the site's participation-oriented entry point rather than a league news section.
News, video and fixtures
Beyond the league links, the homepage surfaces content by type rather than by competition:
- News — a rolling feed of headlines, including analysis pieces such as "Every club's fixture difficulty ranked 1-18" and "2027 FIXTURE: Every club, every game, every match-up revealed," plus team announcements like the AFLW teams for Friday and Saturday round 12 matches.
- Video — a dedicated video section with shows and clips, for example GETTABLE for draft whispers and "Inside the Huddle."
- Fixtures, scores and results — the site description explicitly covers "AFL news, AFL video, results, scores and information," and the fixture coverage extends to season-level pages such as the 2027 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture.
If your goal is a specific match, start from the league quick link and then move to that competition's fixture or results page. If your goal is broader, the news feed mixes AFL and AFLW items in one stream, so check the competition tag on each headline before clicking.
Tickets and commercial links
The quick-links area also includes a "Trade Buy Now!" entry and a promotional block for "AAMI AFL Origin 2027," alongside a "2027 Gath…" item that is cut off in the available page text. These are commercial or ticketing entry points rather than editorial sections. The page evidence does not state prices, so treat any ticket link as a destination to check directly rather than assuming cost or availability.
Choosing the right entry point
- Following one competition week to week: use the AFL or AFLW quick link, then its news and fixture pages.
- State-league follower: go straight to VFL or VFLW.
- Draft and trade interest: the news feed and video section carry the relevant shows and analysis.
- Attending a match or event: use the ticketing and promotional links, and confirm details on the destination page.
One practical caution: because the homepage mixes competitions in a single news list, a headline about teams or tribunals may belong to AFLW rather than the men's league. The competition label next to each item is the reliable way to tell them apart.
