The 2026 Brownlow Medal is set to be awarded at Melbourne's Crown Palladium, with Nick Daicos emerging as the clear favourite following an outstanding season. While Daicos dominates the outright market ($1.01), expert analysis highlights value in exotic and team-specific markets, such as Patrick Cripps for Top 5, Luke Jackson for Top 10, and team vote leaders like Izak Rankine (Adelaide). Bettors are encouraged to explore 'Pick Your Own Vote' specials and multi-bet options for greater odds. Comprehensive odds updates and tips are available via dedicated AFL betting sites.

The wait is almost over, with the 2026 Brownlow Medal set to be decided at Crown Palladium in Melbourne tonight - and we've got you covered with all the best betting angles for the AFL's night of nights.

Collingwood superstar Nick Daicos heads into the count as the overwhelming favourite after a dominant home-and-away season, with some external models projecting him to push towards the 50-vote mark. Bailey Smith, Marcus Bontempelli and Will Ashcroft are among the other prominent names expected to feature towards the top of the leaderboard.

With Daicos extremely short in the outright market, our Brownlow betting tips will look beyond simply picking the winner. We'll break down the best value across player vote totals, team vote markets and other Brownlow specials, identifying where the numbers and our round-by-round projections suggest there could be opportunities throughout the count.

We'll also have our final predictions for the leading vote-getters, potential surprise performers and the players we expect to poll strongly for their respective clubs. The official count gets underway at approximately 8:00pm AEST, with the 2026 Brownlow Medallist expected to be crowned at around 10:10pm AEST.
