2026 Kardinia Park Stadium Trust All Abilities FNL Fixture Released
AFL Barwon is proud to release the 2026 All Abilities Football Netball League fixture, headlined by the football competition splitting into two divisions and new club entering the netball competition.
Commencing in 2023, the All Abilities FNL continues to grow, creating opportunities for all-inclusive sport in the Geelong region.
2026 sees an important step forward for the All Abilities competition with a contact division and a non-contact division for the first time in the competition’s history. The contact division will maintain the dynamic, competitive nature and rules of the current competition. The non-contact division is designed to support non-tackle participants and provides an accessible entry point for players seeking a modified football experience.
Round 1 of the football season will kick off on Saturday, April 11 with the highly popular All Abilities Football Showcase taking place at GMHBA Stadium.
The contact competition sees premiers Geelong West come up against finalists St Joseph’s while runners up Bell Park face off with finalists Newcomb.
The non-contact competition welcomes a new entrant into the All Abilities competition as Newtown & Chilwell make their debut against St Joseph’s.
There is sure to be plenty of excitement in rounds 6 and 8 with the league hosting a “Gather Round” type event at Newcomb and Geelong West respectively.
Finals fever will be in full swing on August 15 as the season comes to an exciting conclusion.
The Tuesday night netball competition kicks off on April 21 as reigning premiers Geelong West looks to make a winning start to their premiership defence against St Joseph’s. Grand finalists Newcomb begin their season with a clash against Surf Coast. We are excited to welcome Bell Park intio the netball competition for the first time.
Finals will commence on August 11 for the netball competition before the premiers are decided on August 18th in the Grand Final.
The All Abilities competition is made possible with the proud support of the naming rights partner, Kardinia Park Stadium Trust.
The 2026 season of the All Abilities competition is set to be the league’s most expansive season to date, reinforcing AFL Barwon’s commitment to inclusive community football and netball.
