Collingwood’s next confirmed opponent is St Kilda in the 2026 AFL Opening Round.

Who Collingwood will play next

Because the 2026 AFL fixture is already out, we can see Collingwood’s first official game of the premiership season is against St Kilda:

  • St Kilda vs Collingwood, Opening Round, Sunday 8 March 2026, at the MCG.
  • Collingwood then plays Adelaide Crows in Round 1 at the MCG.

There is also a pre‑season AAMI Community Series game:

  • North Melbourne vs Collingwood, Sunday 1 March 2026, at Mars Stadium.
