Background

State-based rivalries resumed for the first time in nearly 25 years when Western Australia took on Victoria at Optus Stadium in Perth on Saturday, February 14. The last AFL Origin match was played at the MCG in 1999, with Victoria beating South Australia 17.19 (121) to 10.7 (67) in tough, wet conditions. This year's game marked the first time WA and Victoria have played each other since 1992, while it was those two states that contested the inaugural Origin fixture back in 1977.

Considerations

The expected 2027 fixture is South Australia versus Victoria. The AFL has indicated State of Origin will continue as an annual preseason fixture, though the specific matchups and years may vary depending on league scheduling decisions.
