The AFL has today released the fixture details for Rounds 16 to 22, as a run of weekend timeslots for Navy Blue home games makes a welcome return for the Carlton family.  

With all seven games falling on a Saturday or Sunday, there is a mixture of timeslots suited to getting every Bluebagger to the football.  

In contrast, the Blues played six of their first nine games this year on a Thursday or Friday night, making this change in timeslots a point of difference in the back half of the season.  

Rounds 16 and 20 will see Carlton play a Saturday afternoon home game. Carlton has played just four Saturday afternoon home games in the last two seasons, making this run of fixtures a rare and welcome opportunity for the whole supporter base to get along to the games.  

The Blues currently rank first in the competition for average home attendance in 2026, a remarkable reflection of the loyalty and passion of our supporter base. Carlton fans show up and this fixture gives more fans the opportunity to do exactly that. 

Every game from Rounds 16 to 22 will be played in Victoria, giving local supporters easy access to each match, with trips to Adelaide (Round 11 v Port Adelaide) and Sydney (Round 15 v GWS) still to come this year.  

Carlton's two home games in Rounds 16 and 18 fall right in the heart of Kids Footy Month, there will be a month-long celebration dedicated to creating special memories for kids and families. 

Timed perfectly with the July school holidays, it makes football an affordable and fun day out for the whole family, with kids aged 14 and under getting in free (subject to availability). 

We can’t wait to see the Bluebaggers fill out the stadium in the Navy Blue.
