South Australia AFL GATHER ROUND

The final siren has sounded on AFL Gather Round 2025, with South Australian once again coming alive to celebrate all things Footy over one action-packed weekend -18 teams, 9 games, and one massive Festival of Footy. For the first time, AFL Gather Round brought the action to the Barossa, plus the Norwood Food & Wine Festival returned to bring some flair and flavour to the last day of the weekend. 

Missing the roar of the crowd and the thrill of the game already? AFL Gather Round 2026 will be returning to South Australia so be sure to start planning your stay. Start making your wish list of day trips to iconic SA wine regions, checking out popular bars and restaurants or deciding which iconic South Australian attractions you'll tick off your bucket list next time.
