The AFL has today confirmed the list of players invited to the 2026 Telstra AFL and AFLW Draft Combines.
The announcement includes the invite lists for both the national and state Draft Combines, with selection based on nominations supplied by every AFL and AFLW club.
The 2026 Telstra AFL and AFLW Draft Combines will be staged across a two-week period following the 2026 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
The national events will each be held across four days in Melbourne from Tuesday, September 29 through to Saturday, October 3.
The national AFLW Draft Combine will be held from Tuesday to Friday, while the national AFL Draft Combine will run across Wednesday to Saturday.
Club interviews for both national Draft Combines will be held at the MCG, ahead of physical testing at the State Netball & Hockey Centre on the final day of each event.
Physical testing will include vertical jumps, 20-metre sprint, an agility test and a time trial.
The distance for the AFLW Draft Combine time trial will this year change to 1.6km to more accurately reflect running patterns in an AFLW match. The time trial distance will remain at 2km for the AFL Draft Combine.
Three state Draft Combines will be held in Melbourne (Girls: October 2 and Boys: October 3), Adelaide (October 10) and Perth (October 11). Each state Draft Combine will be held across a single day, with participants to take part in physical testing.
The 2026 Telstra AFL Draft Combine invite list includes 63 players for the national Combine, with an additional 39 players invited to a state Combine.
The national event for the 2026 Telstra AFLW Draft Combine will feature 46 players, while 43 players have been selected for a state Combine.
Additional players may be invited to attend a Draft Combine prior to each event.
