The Tigers and Blues return to the MCG for a Saturday lunchtime showdown, with Richmond hosting Carlton in the opening round of the 2027 AFL Premiership Season.
After years of featuring prominently in the AFL’s traditional season-opening schedule, Richmond and Carlton will meet in a different timeslot in 2027. The lunchtime bounce offers an opportunity to entertain clients, reward staff or bring together a group of passionate supporters for an afternoon at the football.
Their 2026 Round 1 meeting was decided by just four points, with Carlton defeating Richmond 10.15 (75) to 9.17 (71) before 74,313 spectators at the MCG. Zac Williams kicked Carlton’s only goal of the second half, while Richmond’s Tom Lynch finished with 2.7 from ten scoring shots.
The contest also showcased two of the competition’s emerging talents. Carlton’s Jagga Smith collected a game-high 32 disposals, while Richmond’s Sam Lalor contributed two goals during the Tigers’ comeback.
With the Blues looking to continue their recent success against Richmond and the Tigers eager to turn the tables, this Round 1 fixture promises another compelling chapter in a long-standing Melbourne rivalry.
