Gold Coast Suns 2026 Fixtures: Every Club, Every Game Start-time, Every Opponent Date, Full Schedule, venues

GOOD: Expect the Suns to get off to a flyer in season 2026 with only one finalist from last year an opponent (Geelong) during the first six rounds. Three straight home games – including two at TIO Stadium – just before their round 12 bye is also juicy. In fact, outside of a trip to Tasmania to take on the Hawks in round seven and their Opening Round clash against Geelong, it’s a pretty friendly draw to start. There’s a real chance Damien Hardwick’s side has only lost one game and is 10-1 after round 12.

BAD: A maiden finals appearance for the Suns in 2025 means they’ve copped the second-hardest draw for 2026. The Suns take on three of last year’s preliminary finalists twice in Brisbane, Geelong and Hawthorn, while they also have to take on the Giants and Saints twice, who will both be hoping to rise this year. Just two games at the MCG and none after round four isn’t ideal.

Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): 2nd-hardest
