Western Bulldogs 2026 Fixtures: Every Round Game, Every Opponent Date, Schedule, Start-Times, venues.

GOOD: Like 2025, another 13 games at Marvel Stadium – a venue the Dogs have won 15 of their past 18 games at. Just one double-up against a top-four 2025 side (Adelaide), too. And they get lots of prime time exposure across the first 15 rounds, with five Friday games and another two on Thursday nights.

BAD: A mightily difficult first two months, with clashes Brisbane (away), the Giants, Adelaide (away), Hawthorn (Gather Round), Geelong (in Geelong), Sydney and Fremantle all before Round 9. We’ll know if the Dogs are the real deal early, but they’ve traditionally been slow starters in recent seasons. Overall, they don’t double-up against any of North Melbourne, West Coast, Richmond or Essendon.

Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): 6th-hardest
