Brownlow Medal 2026 | Betting Tips, Odds & Predictions
The Brownlow Medal is the most prestigious individual award in Australian rules football, presented annually to the AFL’s best and fairest player. At BettingPro, our expert writers cover Brownlow Medal odds, betting tips and predictions throughout the 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership season.
The 2026 home-and-away season is complete, so every vote has now been cast and the market is set until the count itself. Midfielders from winning teams historically dominate the tally, and because votes are awarded 3-2-1 by the umpires in every game, a season of consistent best-on-ground performances beats a handful of huge ones.
Brownlow Medal 2026 Odds
Brownlow votes stay secret until they are read out on the night, so there is no leaderboard to track: the betting market is the only guide there is. The prices below reflect the market late in the home-and-away season, with Nick Daicos a clear odds-on favourite and Marcus Bontempelli next. Prices move right up to the count, so compare the latest at Ladbrokes, Neds and bet365.
