Representative match
For the second consecutive season, an interstate representative match was arranged against the VFL Women's (VFLW). As was the case with the 2025 fixture, the match has been timed to coincide with the AFL's Gather Round fixtures in Adelaide. The match will be held as part of a double-header with the equivalent men's interstate match.[2]
