Results and statistics for the Victorian Football League season of 1927.

Premiership season

In 1927, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.

Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 17 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 6, and match 18 the "home-and-way reverse" of match 9.

Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1927 VFL "Premiers" were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus" system".
