Find the 2020 AFL season draw & fixtures listed below.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused the AFL season to be postponed. After playing the first round of fixtures, the 2020 competition has been put on hold indefinitely, with the earliest possible return date May 31.

The AFL had earlier announced a change from a full 23-round schedule to a 17-match per side fixture over the course of the year. They still intend to play the remaining 144 games under that plan, although the details of that schedule are naturally yet to be announced.

You can find the full original fixtures for the 2020 season below, and we’ll update this schedule as the latest details come to hand.
