Brisbane hunts third straight premiership; Fremantle seeks first flag
Brisbane and Fremantle meet in the AFL Grand Final on Saturday seeking premierships.
The 2026 AFL Grand Final pits Brisbane against Fremantle on Saturday, September 26 at 2:30pm AEST. The two clubs have never met in any final before.
Brisbane is chasing its third straight premiership after beating Sydney in 2024 and Geelong in 2025. If the Lions win, they will be the first team to win three successive premierships since Hawthorn in 2013-15.
Fremantle is into its second Grand Final in 32 seasons in the AFL, having lost to Hawthorn in 2013. A Fremantle win would end the club's premiership drought and the AFL's second-longest current drought, behind St Kilda's 60 years.
Channel Seven and 7plus will broadcast the match from 2pm AEST.
