H = home · A = away · Last updated from official 2026 fixture
One of the oldest clubs in Australian football, Essendon have won 16 premierships — tied for the most in VFL/AFL history. The Bombers' greatest era came under Kevin Sheedy, who coached 635 games and delivered four flags between 1984 and 2000. The 2000 premiership side, which went through the entire season undefeated, is widely regarded as one of the greatest teams in the game's history. Despite the turmoil of the supplements saga in the 2010s, the Bombers remain one of the most passionately supported clubs in the competition.
VFL outfit established 2014 · home ground Windy Hill
Essendon brought its VFL operation in-house in 2014, ending a long-running alignment with Bendigo. The reserves play at Windy Hill, the club's historic Moonee Ponds home, giving the Bombers' fringe players the chance to perform in front of the club's traditional supporter base.
