The Brownlow Medal is traditionally held on the Monday night of AFL grand final week, which falls in late September each year, usually the Monday before the Saturday grand final.

So, when is the Brownlow?

  • In recent seasons, the Brownlow count has been scheduled for a Monday night in the last week of September , as the official start to grand final week.
  • For example, the 2024 Brownlow Medal was held on Monday 23 September at 8 pm AEST.

The AFL has not yet publicly locked in the exact night and time for every future season, but you can safely expect it to be that Monday of grand final week again, unless the league announces a format change. Checking the AFL’s official fixtures or broadcast guides closer to September will give the precise date and start time for the year you care about.
