The AFL revealed the fixture for Rounds 1-15
Adelaide will be a prime time regular with Thursday and Friday night games featuring prominently in its 2026 fixture released today.
The Club has five Thursday night games – with two at Adelaide Oval against Carlton and Geelong – as well as three on Friday night, including a home Showdown.
Time slots have only been finalised for Rounds 1-15, with the AFL to confirm the remainder of the fixture later in the season.
The Crows kick-off their campaign against Collingwood at the MCG, while other notable call outs include:
- Three home games in a row between Rounds Four and Six, inclusive of Gather Round;
- Playing Fremantle under lights at Adelaide Oval on Good Friday;
- Hosting popular Victorian clubs Carlton, Collingwood and Richmond;
- Kicking off the King’s Birthday Round against Geelong at Adelaide Oval;
- Double up games against Geelong, Collingwood, Fremantle, Western Bulldogs, Richmond and Port Adelaide;
- A home Showdown in Round 8 before meeting the Power again in Round 16;
- Two trips to Perth, along with visits to Launceston, Brisbane and Sydney;
- And five games in Victoria including two at the MCG.
Crows CEO Tim Silvers described the Club’s fixture as a significant win for its supporters and especially given the recent popularity of night games at Adelaide Oval.
“For the second year in a row, we have four games at home in the first six weeks of our season which is great for our members and fans,” Silvers said.
“Opening Gather Round again is a privilege, given it’s become such a big occasion, and having an extended stretch with limited travel also presents high-performance advantages.
“Overall we are pleased to see last year’s strong and consistent on-field performances, as well as our entertaining game style, rewarded with marquee fixtures.”
