Brisbane Sport 2026 — The Local Fan's Guide
Brisbane sport in 2026: the Broncos, Lions, Heat, Roar and Reds, plus the Olympic build, grassroots clubs, venues and the city's sporting culture.
Brisbane is a sports city. From Suncorp Stadium on a Friday night to the Gabba on a Sunday afternoon, from junior rugby league fields in the suburbs to the Olympic venues being planned for 2032, sport is woven through how the city sees itself. This guide is The Daily Brisbane's running coverage of local sport: the Broncos, Dolphins and other NRL coverage, the Lions in the AFL, the Reds in rugby, the Roar in football, the Heat and Bulls in cricket, the Firebirds in netball, and the grassroots clubs and community competitions that feed into them. We also track the venues, the funding decisions, the Olympic delivery program, athlete welfare, integrity in sport and the broader culture around how Brisbane plays.
