The AFL finals run through September and finish with the Grand Final at the MCG on the last Saturday of the month, the one afternoon of the year the whole country stops for a game of football. Outside Victoria the crowd is a supporter crowd, so the pub that matters is the one that puts the right club on with the sound up. These 9 venues in Canberra carry a real signal that they show the AFL.

Frequently asked questions

Which pub is showing the AFL in Canberra?
9 venues in Canberra have a real, checkable signal that they show the AFL: the venue's own post or website, a club or fan-group listing, or local coverage. Every listing on this page links back to that source.
Where can I watch the AFL Grand Final in Canberra?
The sections on this page split them by what the evidence says: 1 is a fan bar or game-day home for a specific team, which is where the crowd and the sound will be; 5 show the AFL week in, week out; 3 hosted a one-off screening we could verify.
When are the next AFL games?
Next up: AFL First Semi-Final: Fremantle Dockers v Geelong Cats on Fri 11 Sep 2026, 10:10 UTC; AFL Second Semi-Final: Brisbane Lions v Adelaide Crows on Sat 12 Sep 2026, 09:35 UTC; AFL First Preliminary Final: Hawthorn Hawks v second semi-final winner on Fri 18 Sep 2026 (time to be confirmed). A lot of these venues show both codes, and in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra the word footy means the NRL by default, so every listing below names the AFL or an AFL club explicitly rather than leaving it to be guessed.
How is this AFL list for Canberra put together?
It is built from public evidence only: a venue's own posts and website, club and fan-group listings, and local press. We keep hospitality venues only, drop anything we cannot source, and refresh the Canberra list as new evidence appears.
