AFL GATHER ROUND

Get ready for AFL Gather Round 2026

South Australia AFL GATHER ROUND

The final siren has sounded on AFL Gather Round 2025, with South Australia once again coming alive to celebrate all things footy over one action-packed weekend — 18 teams, 9 games, and one big Festival of Footy. For the first time, the Barossa played host to the action, while the Norwood Food & Wine Festival returned to bring some extra flair and flavour to the final day.

Already missing the roar of the crowd and the thrill of the game? AFL Gather Round will be back in South Australia in 2026 — so now’s the time to start dreaming up your next trip. Think iconic SA wine regions, crowd-favourite restaurants and local experiences that’ll stick with you long after the final whistle.
