Match Day Information: Round 23 v Adelaide

Fremantle will take on Adelaide on Friday 14 August at Optus Stadium. The game will commence at 6.10 PM WST.

Fremantle is going all the way back to 1995, pulling on the purple and green anchor jumper and matching retro shorts inspired by our very first game as a Club.

It's also our chance to say thank you to our members who make it all possible.

The Purple Army has had a massive year in 2026. Whether it was some Wharfie time madness, massive crowds showing up every week, watching some of the Club’s most famous wins, and now another Finals series, you've been there the whole way!

This week, we’d like to reward our members and fans for embracing Freo footy during our Member Thank You Round. As a result, we’re giving away a long list of Freo prizes throughout this week leading into our Friday night clash with Adelaide.

Tickets are available for the clash via Ticketmaster, starting from just $39.
