AFL 2026 Grand Final results
26 September 2026
Brisbane Lions 96 def. Fremantle 89 at the M.C.G. on Sat 26 Sep — a 7-point margin in front of the biggest crowd of the year, closing out the 2026 AFL season. Both sides had to win away from home just to reach this game: Fremantle came through Sydney Swans by 12 in their Preliminary Final, Brisbane Lions survived a 253-point shootout with Hawthorn by 9. The Grand Final was the tightest of the three finals results, decided by less than a converted goal.

That's the season
Every AFL tipping ladder settled the moment the final siren went — no cash prize, no trophy ceremony on our end, just a locked-in ladder and bragging rights for whoever's on top. If you're running a competition with your mates or your workplace, this is the moment to screenshot the final table and put a name on the season before everyone moves on. And if your group wants to keep the ritual going, NRL's finals run for another fortnight, and NBL and NFL are both already underway.
