The AFL Premiership is the championship of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level of professional Australian rules football. It culminates in the Grand Final, held annually in September, where the top two teams compete for the title. The premiership is highly coveted, symbolizing excellence in the sport. Teams earn their place in the Grand Final through a series of matches during the regular season and finals series. The winning team is awarded the Premiership Cup and celebrated as the best in the league for that season, with players receiving medals to honor their achievement.
