With the Toyota AFL Premiership season fixture released earlier this month, here are five home games you won’t want to miss as a Freo fan in 2027.
*Tickets will go on sale in the new year. Further information about the process and exact dates will be communicated by the Club closer to the time.
Round 1: Fremantle v Western Bulldogs
Optus Stadium, Thursday 18 March, 5.10pm
Freo will kick off season 2027 in the second game of the Round, welcoming back the Purple Army against last year’s Elimination Finalists, the Western Bulldogs. The meeting will see two of the competition's best midfields go head-to-head for supremacy, with the likes of Andrew Brayshaw, Caleb Serong, Shai Bolton and Luke Jackson duelling it out with Marcus Bontempelli, Zak Butters, Ed Richards and Tim English. A mouthwatering matchup of some of the very best the AFL has to offer. The clash will also be the first of six Thursday night clashes Freo will play in the first 16 rounds.
Round 5: Fremantle v West Coast
Optus Stadium, Friday 16 April, 6.10pm
There is nothing like a home Western Derby for the passionate Freo faithful. Western Derby 64 will be the first of the two meetings the cross-town rivals will play in 2027, and a possible sixth consecutive Derby win will see Freo close the all-time ledger to within two games, the closest the all-time record would have been since 2015. And who could forget, the Round 5 meeting of the two Western teams will once again see Caleb Serong have the chance to win his fifth Glendinning-Allan Medal, moving into the outright leader of all-time.
Round 8: Fremantle v Brisbane Lions
Optus Stadium, Sunday 9 May, 5.20pm
The Grand Final rematch. Although the wounds are still raw for many, Round 8 will see 2026’s two Grand Finalists face for the first time since they played out their classic in September. The Sunday night slot will be the Club's second of the year and will surely be another one to remember as the Lions head west to face Freo at Optus for the first time since 2025.
Round 15: Fremantle v Geelong
Optus Stadium, Thursday 24 June, 6.10pm
… And who could forget the Luke Jackson show in that Semi Final at Optus Stadium. Jackson produced a final for the ages with 25 disposals, 35 hitouts and two goals to see Fremantle progress in front of the raucous 59,725 passionate Purple Army. Fremantle have won their last two meetings with the Cats by a combined margin of just 23 points at home and will look to extend that streak to three as they once again face off against one of the benchmark teams of the competition in 2027. New Cat, Rowan Marshall will likely lead the charge in a head-to-head battle with Jackson in one you won't want to miss.
Round 20: Fremantle v Collingwood
Optus Stadium, TBC, TBC
Fremantle will host the Pies at home with a date and time yet to be confirmed by the AFL, but one thing is for sure, a battle you will get. With the likes of Nick Daicos and Lachie Neale travelling west, the Freo Faithful will be out in full force for this clash of titans. Just six points separated the two teams in a wet and wild affair in Adelaide earlier this year and just a single point at the MCG in 2025. In 2027, the sides will face in Round 3 at the MCG, but Round 20 will be the chance for Freo fans to bring their voice at Optus Stadium.
