The Australian Football League (AFL) is Australia's premier professional football league and one of the most popular sports in the country. It comprises 18 teams from across the country, with the season typically running from March to September. The AFL, often colloquially referred to as Aussie rules football or simply 'footy', is unique in its use of an oval-shaped field and blend of physical contact and free flowing play. Regular season matches build to a final series of playoffs, culminating in the championship-deciding Grand Final, one of the country's most-watched annual sporting events.
