Hawthorn Hawks 2026 Fixtures List: Every Club, Every Game, Every Opponent, Start-times, Full Schedule, venues

GOOD: The Hawks are once again the AFL’s prime time sweethearts in 2026, with a whopping eight Thursday or Friday night fixtures over the first 15 rounds. Add in the fact that they’ve got a blockbuster against Geelong and a marquee Gather Round slot against the Dogs and all eyes will be on the Hawks again in 2026. All things considered, this is a pretty decent draw for the Hawks given they made it all the way to a preliminary final last year. While Collingwood and Geelong have to double-up against four top-six opponents from last year, Hawthorn only has two (Collingwood and Gold Coast). Sam Mitchell’s side only has six non-Victoria/Tasmania games throughout the year. Between round 16 and 21, the Hawks play all games either at UTAS Stadium or the MCG.

BAD: The Hawks will have to make a couple of trips west in 2026, taking on both the Dockers and Eagles at Optus Stadium. Hawthorn fans could also probably consider buying a multi-day theme park pass given they’ll have two separate trips to Queensland next year. Double-ups against the Western Bulldogs and GWS Giants won’t be easy either, while there will no doubt be plenty of feeling in both clashes against Essendon.

Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): 5th-hardest
