Watch Brisbane vs Adelaide live streams in the AFL 2026 Semi-Finals to see whether the Lions can keep their hopes of a premiership three-peat alive after damaging recent defeats or if the Crows can build on an impressive second half of the season.
Brisbane had hoped to avoid this game after being drawn against an embattled Sydney in the Qualifying Final. However, things did not go to plan for Chris Fagan’s two-time reigning premiers, who were blown away by the Swans. Off the pace throughout the early exchanges, their 53-point defeat at the SCG was the heaviest loss they have suffered in 21 finals games under Fagan. Yet the Lions know how to respond. Twelve months ago, they were hammered by Geelong at the same stage before recording back-to-back-to-back wins and beat the Cats in the Grand Final, their second in a row. Time for a repeat.
Adelaide, though, are in unusual territory. The Crows survived a late rally from the Western Bulldogs to secure a 90-68 victory for their first finals win in nine years after last year’s dismal finals displays as minor premiers. Coach Matthew Nicks may look to his defense to help get the job done, their recent run of 10 wins from their past 13 games built and solid rearguard. But they’ll also need their attack to fire if they hope to upset the champions. Izak Rankine was the difference against the Dogs last week – can the 26-year-old step up again?
The winner advances to the Preliminary Final next weekend against Sydney, the loser is out.
