We have the latest Brownlow Medal odds, where the AFL’s best players embark on the solo honour next month.
The latest Brownlow Medal odds present a one-man race with Nick Daicos establishing a big lead, but anything can happen in Brownlow Medal voting, so there is always room for an upset.
We look at the latest odds and our Brownlow Medal predictions for the 2026 season.
Topping 2026 Brownlow Medal odds is Nick Daicos at $1.01. The Collingwood superstar is all but guaranteed the win according to betting markets, and his play over the last few weeks since voting went dark has been exceptional.
It would take a big upset to see him lose the count, but strange things tend to happen at the Brownlow Medal awards night.
On the second line of betting are Marcus Bontempelli and Bailey Smith. Bontempelli is always a Brownlow Medal contender for the Western Bulldogs, and Smith has had another strong year for Geelong.
If punters predict an upset result, the odds are massive, so it could be worth having a stab with a couple of players.

AFL odds correct as of 26/08/2026 and subject to change.
Brownlow Medal odds are telling, and it wouldn’t be wise to bet against Daicos at $1.01. However, there is no value in backing him at those odds, so we’re picking a couple of players who could poll well on the night.
Bontempelli at $51 is a good price for an upset result. He has taken the Bulldogs to another finals appearance, and although they’re not high on the AFL ladder, his play since the votes were not made public has been outstanding.
He is always an upset threat, so if you’re looking for value with Brownlow Medal betting, Bontempelli is your man.
We’re also making a case for perennial contender Patrick Cripps. He has taken Carlton from a struggling team to a playoff contender, and although it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Cripps, he’ll likely poll well on the night.
Punters get $67 for Cripps, who could finish in the Top 3 with a strong end to his regular season. Most of the money has come for Daicos, Bontempelli, and Smith to finish in the Top 3, but Cripps could post yet another podium finish.
Most Brownlow Medal predictions have Daicos winning by a big margin. He had a strong end to the season, which could have seen him grab three points in four of his last six matches.
That makes him tough to beat, and his run from Round 15-23 was an impressive streak. That’s why he’s $1.01 with Brownlow Medal odds, but it’s more of a tighter race for second and third.
Predictors have Smith totaling 34 points and Bontempelli scoring 32 points. They had quite a few non-scoring rounds, so a Top 3 spot is up for grabs, and most predictors have Will Ashcroft and Max Gawn next in line.
It’s a competitive market for a Top 3 finish, so despite Daicos running away with it, it’ll be a tight race for the other positions.
