AFL confirms State of Origin future with Victoria to miss 2027 match

The AFL has confirmed the future of State of Origin, with Western Australia to host South Australia in 2027.

South Australia will then host Victoria in 2028 at Adelaide Oval, before Victoria and Western Australia meet again in Perth in 2029.

The State of Origin concept returned to the AFL in 2026, with Victoria beating Western Australia at Perth Stadium.

South Australia and Western Australia last played each other in 1998 at Football Park, with South Australia winning by 36 points in front of 18,000 fans.

No other states have been marked to play in the Origin series, with the Allies concept — Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland, ACT, and Northern Territory merged together — last used in 1998.

New South Wales joined with ACT and Queensland joined with the Northern Territory in 1993, with Tasmania fielding a standalone team.
