GWS Giants 2026 Fixtures List: Every Club, Every Game Start-time, Every Opponent, Full Schedule, venues

GOOD: The Giants were arguably the biggest winners after the fixture release. Of last year’s top nine sides, eight have copped the toughest draws for 2026, but the Giants are the outlier with the fourth-easiest. When it comes to double-ups, the Giants face just two finalists from 2025 twice (Gold Coast and Hawthorn), which is less than last year’s wooden spoon side West Coast. Sure, the Saints and Swans are expected to have better seasons in 2026, but on pure numerical value right now the Giants have absolutely lucked out.

BaD: The Giants play just one game at the MCG next year, a round 16 encounter against Hawthorn. They’ve also only got two Friday night encounters during the first 15 rounds of the season and seven Sunday timeslots. They’ve got three trips to Adelaide next year, taking on both the Crows and Power away and the Tigers at Barossa Park during Gather Round. Still, the fact the team that finished fifth in the home and away season not having to play any of the top-four teams twice makes this whole thing a major win.

Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): 4th-easiest
