AFL Gather Round is the biggest weekend on the footy calendar, and after three decades sending fans across the country to follow the game, I can say with confidence there’s nothing else like it. All 18 clubs, one host city, one weekend — every supporter in the country has a reason to be there, and the host city turns the whole thing into a festival.
What makes it work is the combination: every team in the competition playing across one weekend, a host city that throws itself behind the round, and a state that builds the food, wine and atmosphere of the weekend around the football. Adelaide has hosted Gather Round since the round was introduced in 2023 and made it their own, and while the AFL has not yet confirmed the host city for 2027, what’s certain is that AFL Gather Round 2027 will be the biggest weekend on the footy calendar wherever it lands. Getting the most out of it takes the right AFL Gather Round 2027 travel package — accommodation within walking distance of the football, tickets to the matches that matter to you, and a team on the ground who knows both the event and the host city. That’s the standard we set.
Events Travel has been sending Australian footy fans on the road for more than 30 years and is a proud travel partner of Carlton Football Club and Essendon Football Club, with access to in-stadium suites and hospitality at AFL Gather Round 2027. Whether you’re booking AFL Gather Round 2027 tickets, premium hospitality or a fully curated Gather Round package, we’ve built our reputation on getting the details right, year after year, for travellers from every corner of the country.
Now it’s your turn. I can’t wait to welcome you to AFL Gather Round 2027.

The full AFL Gather Round 2027 schedule will be confirmed by the AFL closer to the event, typically alongside the release of the 2027 season fixture in late 2026. The host city for AFL Gather Round 2027 has not yet been confirmed. The round traditionally runs across four days from Thursday to Sunday and features all 18 AFL clubs playing nine matches across a single weekend. For reference, prior Gather Round schedules offer a guide to the schedule:
Thursday — opening night
The round opens with a Thursday night match under lights, drawing the largest crowd of the opening evening and setting the tone for the weekend.
Friday — twilight and night football
Friday traditionally features two matches, including a twilight fixture and a Friday night blockbuster.
Saturday — full slate
Saturday is the busiest day of the round, with up to four matches scheduled across afternoon and evening timeslots, paired with food, wine and entertainment activations across the host city.
Sunday — closing matches
Sunday closes the round with two matches, typically an early-afternoon fixture followed by a late-afternoon clash to finish the weekend.
Adelaide in autumn has been the ideal backdrop for AFL Gather Round since the round was introduced in 2023. A relaxed, walkable capital with a renowned food, wine and arts scene, Adelaide combines the energy of a major sporting weekend with the comfort of a city built around its parklands, riverbank and laneways. From the small bars and bistros of Peel Street and Leigh Street to the Central Market, the Adelaide Botanic Garden and a calendar of festivals that run through autumn, the city rewards exploration between matches.
Adelaide Oval sits across the River Torrens from the CBD, connected by the Riverbank Footbridge and a short walk from hotels in the city centre and North Adelaide. Between sessions, guests move easily from the football to the Riverbank precinct, the East End, North Adelaide’s heritage pubs and the Adelaide Central Market. Beyond the city, the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills are within an hour’s drive, making winery experiences a natural addition to AFL Gather Round 2027 travel packages. Autumn is Adelaide at its most inviting — warm days, cool evenings and a city fully alive with the energy of the AFL Gather Round.
AFL Gather Round 2027 is scheduled for April 2027, in the Australian autumn. In Adelaide, average daytime temperatures across this window range from approximately 22°C to 26°C (72°F to 79°F), with evenings cooling to around 12°C to 15°C (54°F to 59°F). Rainfall is moderate and humidity is low, making it one of the most comfortable times of year to be in South Australia. Light layers are recommended for evening matches and outdoor dining, ensuring your AFL Gather Round 2027 experience is comfortable across the weekend.

Events Travel STUNNED us!
Events Travel provided anamazing hotel, walking distance from the Australian Open and tickets that stunned us day after day, game after game. We have already booked Wimbledon with them. No wonder my A.I. search for the best tennis packager placed Events Travel at the top of the list. That’s where they belong.

Events Travel delivered everything we wanted as promised – great seats and excellent accommodations at a fair price. No surprises, no hassles. We’re already on the waitlist for next year.
For my wife’s birthday
The whole thing went really smoothly – from the planning to the execution. The accommodation and tickets were excellent. I could not have imagined anything better👍
The booking was easy
The booking was easy, professional and a great team to deal with. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner and friendly staff. Second time we have booked with them and we are happy with their service. Thank you.
Very convenient. Book everything together.
Booking through Events travel gave us the opportunity to purchase Australian Open tennis tickets prior to the general ticket sales. They gave us an extensive list of hotels to choose from. We booked tickets at Rod Laver arena which we were very happy with. We hope to use Events Travel again.
