Nine Saturday night games feature across Adelaide’s 2016 schedule.

Five of these games will be at Adelaide Oval, where the Crows will also play two Saturday afternoon games but have avoided the twilight timeslot.

For the third consecutive season, Adelaide will host a Thursday night game at Adelaide Oval. The showpiece match will be against North Melbourne in Round 14, after the bye.

The Crows have two Friday night games – the first against Hawthorn at the MCG (Round Five) and then at Adelaide Oval against Geelong (Round Eight).

The 12 night games compares to just five in 2015.

Five minor round games are programmed for Sunday, with three of these in the twilight slot.

Adelaide’s first ten home matches are split between Saturday night (four games), Saturday afternoon (two) Sunday twilight (two), Friday night (one) and Thursday night (one). The timing of the last home game, in Round 23, will be announced later in the season.

Seven of the Crows away games are scheduled for Saturday, including Port’s home Showdown at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night in Round 22.
