Hawthorn will kick off its 2026 AFLW campaign under Thursday night lights against the Demons on August 13 at IKON Park, after the full season fixture was unveiled on Thursday.

Headlining the Hawks fixture is the four games at the Club’s home base in Dingley, the Kennedy Community Centre.

It sets up historic homecoming for the brown and gold, and the first game for premiership points at the KCC in Round 4 (Sunday 6 September, 1.05pm) when the Hawks host the Adelaide Crows.

The remaining KCC fixtures are slated for Round 5 against the Western Bulldogs (Saturday 12 September, 1.05pm), Round 9 against the Brisbane Lions (Sunday 11 October, 1.05pm) and Round 11 against Essendon (Sunday 25 October, 3.05pm).

The Hawks will also return to their Northern nest in Cairns, as they host the reigning premiers, North Melbourne, at Cazalys Stadium in Round 6 (Friday 18 September, 5.45pm).

Hawthorn will play three away games at Victorian venues this season against Collingwood (Round 3), Geelong (Round 7) and Carlton (Round 8), in addition to three interstate games against Port Adelaide (Round 2), GWS Giants (Round 10) and West Coast (Round 12).

The AFLW Indigenous Round will take place across Rounds 3 and 4, while Pride Round will be recognised in Rounds 9 and 10.

Hawthorn Chief Executive Officer Ash Klein welcomed the club’s 2026 fixture, headlined by hosting home games at the Kennedy Community Centre for the first time.  

“We are thrilled that our amazing facility at the Kennedy Community Centre will be the official home for our AFLW Hawks this season, with four bumper games at our Dingley headquarters,” Klein said.

“History will be made in Round 4 when our AFLW Hawks play for premiership points at the KCC for the first time, which will be an occasion the Hawthorn faithful won’t want to miss. We encourage everyone from the brown and gold fold to be part of this memorable moment.

“With three further games in Dingley, as well as a return to our Northern Nest in Cairns, it sets up as a great collection of matches for the brown and gold in a huge season ahead.

“It’s not too late to secure your AFLW membership for the 2026, with terrific value options for everyone in the Hawthorn family.”

Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday 21 July with further ticketing information to be communicated in due course.
