Brisbane Lions 2026 Fixtures List: Every Round Game, Every Opponent Date, Start-Times, Full Schedule, Venues.

GOOD - If you’re a club who has won back-to-back flags, you are absolutely taking the eighth-hardest fixture on offer heading into next season. Double-up matches against Carlton and Essendon look favourable, with the rest of the match-ups as expected given their recent dominance. And when you compare their fixture to last year — which history tells us was one of the hardest we’ve ever seen — it’s a huge, huge win.

BAD - What on earth is up with the Lions not being a feature of Gather Round? Their clash with the Western Bulldogs last year at Norwood Oval was one of the matches of the home-and-away season, yet they’ve somehow been banished out to the Barossa Valley next year against North Melbourne. Additionally, their lack of prime time fixtures is perplexing. Over half of their matches will be instead on a Saturday.

Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): 8th-hardest
