The 2026 NAB AFLW Season has surpassed its all-time attendance record with more than 283,000 fans attending games so far, exceeding the previous mark of 268,349 set in 2025. The season saw record crowds from the start, including 20,455 at the season-opener and impressive follow-ups at subsequent matches.
