Current grounds
The following table shows a list of all of the current grounds that are used in the Australian Football League, in order of capacity. The table also includes grounds where teams have commercial deals in place to transfer home games to these grounds each season but are not actual tenants of those grounds.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground is now the only ground in Australia that has been host to AFL matches since the inauguration of the league back in 1897.
The newest stadium on the list is TIO Stadium. This ground is host to a few Western Bulldogs matches each year as a result of a commercial deal that have allowed them to have home games at TIO Stadium since 2004.
