Adelaide will again host the AFL's Gather Round in 2026, but the event's long-term future in South Australia remains uncertain.

Despite the success of previous years, an extension to the contract beyond the upcoming event has not yet been secured.

The 2026 Gather Round schedule has been released, confirming Adelaide Oval as the primary venue.

Adelaide Crows will commence the round with a Thursday night match against Carlton.

Collingwood and Fremantle will feature in the Friday night game.

The Barossa Valley will host North Melbourne and Brisbane on Saturday, one of four games scheduled for that day, including Sydney versus Gold Coast at Norwood Oval.

Geelong will face West Coast at Norwood Oval on Sunday, while Greater Western Sydney and Richmond will play in Lyndoch.
