AFL GATHER ROUND

From 9–12 April, South Australia will be ready to roar — 18 teams, 9 games and 1 unforgettable Festival of Footy. In 2026, Gather Round will also return to the Barossa, where rolling vineyards meet die-hard footy fans, setting the stage for a weekend of sport, flavour and local experiences that linger long after the final siren. Whether it’s the buzz of Adelaide Oval or the warm hospitality of regional South Australia, Gather Round is more than a game — it's built into the South Australian story.
