What News and Video Content AFL.com.au Covers

Updated

AFL.com.au publishes current Australian Football League (AFL) and AFLW news, match analysis, video shows, and trade, draft and club reporting. It suits readers who want league-wide coverage in one place — from fixture and results context to opinion and list-management stories — rather than a single club's perspective.

News coverage

The site's news mix, as shown on its homepage, falls into a few recurring categories:

  • Fixtures and season analysis — for example, "Every club's fixture difficulty ranked 1-18" and "2027 FIXTURE: Every club, every game, every match-up revealed," which note features such as more Sunday night games and Friday night double headers in the 2027 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
  • AFLW reporting — team selections ("AFLW TEAMS: Dogs rest veteran, double Dees blow, Roos' boost"), tribunal outcomes, final-round scenarios, coaching and club reviews, and player retirements.
  • Trade and draft — trade watches, contract and re-signing news, draft whispers and draft-event information.
  • Club and off-season news — delistings, rookie signings, and club-by-club previews such as "Your club's most anticipated game of 2027."

Headlines and excerpts on the page also point to lighter items, such as a comparison of how clubs announced their fixture releases.

Video content

The page lists video shows alongside written news, including:

  • The W Show — an AFLW program; the listed episode previews the final round of the AFLW season and includes an interview with Collingwood president Barry Carp about the club's review into its AFLW program.
  • GETTABLE — a show covering draft whispers, club targets and where bids may come for top prospects.
  • Inside the Huddle — a player-focused segment, with one listed episode on a Crows star balancing football and a new baby.
  • Explainer clips — for example, how the AFL decided the Gather Round fixture.

How to use the site for this

  1. Start on the homepage, where lead stories and the "More News" list surface the latest items.
  2. Use the sport filters — AFL, AFLW, VFL, VFLW — to narrow coverage to the competition you follow.
  3. Open the video section for shows like The W Show and Gettable if you prefer watching over reading.
  4. For scores, fixtures and results specifically, use the site's dedicated fixture and results areas rather than the news feed.

One practical caveat: the homepage mixes news, video and promotional blocks (such as ticket and event links), so headlines alone don't always tell you whether an item is an article, a video or an ad-style promo. Checking the label or section tag before clicking saves time.
