Make a day of it in Broome!
The AFL Grand Final is just one way to enjoy a Saturday in Broome. Grab a bite before the game, explore Chinatown, wander along Cable Beach or simply soak up the tropical atmosphere before finding your spot in front of the big screen. And when the final siren sounds, you can keep the afternoon going with Broome’s restaurants, bars, sunset spots and evening entertainment.
If you’re visiting from Perth, the Grand Final also makes a great excuse for a Broome getaway. With direct flights taking around 2.5 hours, you could be swapping the city for tropical Broome, red pindan, turquoise water and a big afternoon of footy in no time.
Fremantle vs Brisbane
There’s plenty riding on this year’s Grand Final. For Fremantle, it is only the club’s second AFL Grand Final appearance, following its 2013 loss to Hawthorn. A win would deliver the Dockers their first AFL premiership. Brisbane enters its fourth consecutive Grand Final after premiership victories in 2024 and 2025, with the Lions chasing a third straight premiership.
So whether you’re wearing purple, maroon and blue, or simply here for the atmosphere, Saturday promises to be a huge afternoon of AFL.
