The shape of it

About

The AFL premiership decider is scheduled for the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 26 September. Match tickets are tightly allocated through competing clubs, membership categories and official channels rather than guaranteed general sale.

Highlights

  • The AFL premiership decider at the MCG
  • A 2:30 pm AEST start confirmed for 2026
  • A citywide match-day atmosphere beyond the stadium

Plan it well

  1. Do not assume a public ticket release; follow AFL and competing-club channels.
  2. Avoid unofficial resale offers that breach ticket conditions.
  3. Expect major transport demand around Yarra Park.
