After what turned out to be a fairly tumultuous 2020 season, the AFL is back for 2021.
No hubs, regular game times restored, crowds are back and new (sometimes controversial) rules make up all the ingredients for what should be a blockbuster season!
Richmond and Carlton have the honors in opening up the 2021 season this Thursday morning (Canada time), and AFL Canada is here to answer all the important questions before the season:
Who is playing and when?
The schedule for 2021 will look a little different than previous years, with a floating schedule after round 6 to accommodate for any flexibility that may be required due to Covid-19. Check out the schedule at the link below:
