The 2022 Brownlow Medal Count will be held this Sunday, September 18, at Crown Palladium in Melbourne. It has been moved from its planned Monday night timeslot to avoid a clash with Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
How to Watch Brownlow Medal Online and on TV in 2022
Channel Seven’s coverage of the night will begin at 7 pm (AEST). Last year’s count began at 7:45 pm; however, with the event including a red carpet section after last year’s Perth ceremony came in the midst of the Victorian lockdown, the 2022 Brownlow count is expected to start closer to 8 pm (AEST).
The winner is expected to be crowned at roughly 10:30 pm (AEST). Ollie Wines was named at 10 pm last year in a significantly shorter event than in previous seasons; it remains to be seen whether the AFL will again look for brevity on the night.
As has been the case since 2011, the only way to watch the Brownlow Medal count on broadcast television will be through Channel Seven.
Their coverage begins at 7 pm (AEDT), but may be on 7mate in your area – so check your local guide to make sure.
The glitz and glamour return to the red carpet after two years on the sidelines due to COVID, so if that’s your main interest of the night, be sure to watch from the get-go for all the dresses and drama there.
Their coverage of the night is expected to end at roughly 11:30 pm (AEDT), following the Brownlow Medal presentation and winners’ speech.
Unlike most other events on the AFL calendar, you will not be able to watch the Brownlow count on Fox Footy.
