Getting Behind Port Adelaide: A Guide to Following the Power in the AFL

Port Adelaide Football Club, known to supporters simply as the Power, is one of the AFL's most distinctive clubs, carrying the weight of a long and passionate history from South Australian rules football into the national competition. Joining the AFL in 1997, the Power has built a loyal following across Adelaide and throughout regional South Australia, and following the club through a season is an experience full of colour, community and genuine local pride.

Like the Adelaide Crows, the Power plays its home games at Adelaide Oval, the landmark ground on the edge of the city parklands. Both clubs share the spectacular venue, which means Adelaide football fans are treated to world-class facilities regardless of which team they support. The ground is accessible by foot from the CBD, or via public transport including tram and train services that operate on match days. A walk across the footbridge from the city precinct is a popular way to arrive.

Membership and ticketing for Port Adelaide operate through the club's official website, with a range of packages covering full-season memberships, family memberships and match-by-match tickets. Members benefit from reserved seating, early access to finals tickets and exclusive club content. Single-game tickets are sold through Ticketmaster and are best purchased well ahead of popular fixtures to avoid missing out.

Watching from home or on the go is straightforward. The AFL's broadcast partners, including Channel 7 free-to-air, Fox Footy and Kayo Sports, cover every match during the regular season. Radio listeners can follow live commentary on Triple M Adelaide and the ABC, with coverage beginning well before the opening bounce. The Power's own digital platforms, including the club's app and social media channels, provide news, video and community content throughout the year.

Port Adelaide's supporter culture is strong and welcoming. The Alberton Power Supporter Club and a network of regional branches hold functions and viewing events during the season. Teal and black can be seen across suburban Adelaide on game day, and the sense of community that surrounds the club makes new supporters feel at home quickly. Check the club's website for information on joining and upcoming events in your area.
