SANFL has released the updated fixture for Rounds 12-17 of the 2026 Hostplus SANFL League season, with as many as five triple-headers scheduled mid-season.
With only the first 11 rounds released at the start of the year due to the rolling AFL schedule, the fixture through to Round 17 is now confirmed.
Rounds 18 (Weekend of August 15) and 19 (Weekend of August 22) will be finalised once the AFL’s fixture on those weekends has been locked away.
The release of the updated fixture coincides with the transfer of West Adelaide’s triple-header with North Adelaide from Richmond Oval to Revo Fitness Oval on Saturday June 6 due to ongoing assessment of the Bloods’ water-damaged changeroom facility.
Continuing to forge SANFL’s ”whole-of-club” reputation, the triple-headers will see a Hostplus SANFL League, Hostplus SANFLW League and SANFL Reserves match played at the same venue in succession.
The remainder of the Hostplus SANFLW League minor round has been locked in, with the finals series to be confirmed closer to its start date of Saturday August 15.
SANFL’s second regional match for 2026 has been confirmed, with Central District hosting South Adelaide at Lyndoch’s Barossa Park on Saturday July 11 at 4.10pm as part of the 2026 Think! Road Safety SA Country Football Championships held that weekend.
Two matches will be played under lights in the second half of the season, with Norwood hosting Glenelg at The Parade from 4.30pm in Round 13 and Port Adelaide playing Woodville-West Torrens at Alberton in Round 15 at 7.10pm.
All Hostplus SANFL League finals will be played at the Adelaide Oval, starting on the weekend of Saturday August 29 through to the Grand Final on Sunday September 20.
AAMI Talent League U18 and AAMI Talent League U16 fixtures have also been finalised for the remainder of the minor round, which concludes with Round 18 on Saturday August 15 before finals begin on the weekend of Saturday August 29.
