Discover AFL Gather Round in South Australia

Last April, South Australia gathered 18 teams, 9 games and 1 unforgettable Festival of Footy. In 2026, Gather Round has also returned to the Barossa, where rolling vineyards meet die-hard footy fans, setting the stage for a weekend of sport, flavour and local experiences that linger long after the final siren. Whether it’s the buzz of Adelaide Oval or the warm hospitality of regional South Australia, Gather Round knows how to turn Footy into a celebration of sport — it's built into the South Australian story.
