The 2000 AFL season was the 104th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season featured 16 clubs and ran from 8 March until 2 September, comprising a 22-match home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs. The season was scheduled earlier than usual to avoid a clash with the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.

{{AFL Ess}} won the premiership, defeating {{AFL Mel}} by 60 points in the 2000 AFL Grand Final; it was Essendon's 16th VFL/AFL premiership. Essendon also won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 21–1 win–loss record, with its home-and-away and overall (24–1) win–loss records standing as the best in the league's history. Melbourne's Shane Woewodin won the Brownlow Medal as the league's best and fairest player, and Essendon's Matthew Lloyd won the Coleman Medal as the league's leading goalkicker.

Ansett Australia Cup

{{main|2000 Ansett Australia Cup}}

The 2000 pre-season began with the 2000 Ansett Australia Cup. Unlike most pre-season competitions which start in February, the 2000 series started on 31 December 1999 with a one-off "Match of the Millennium" between {{AFL Car}} and {{AFL Col}}, which was notable for Brendan Fevola kicking twelve goals, a pre-season record.{{cite web|last=Tate|first=Andrew|title=New Year moments|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/new-year-moments/2009/01/03/1230681816302.html|work=The Age|date=4 January 2009|access-date=6 December 2021|archive-date=20 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320125111/http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/new-year-moments/2009/01/03/1230681816302.html|url-status=live}}{{Ref AFL Encyc|4th|195}} {{AFL Ess}} defeated the {{AFL Kan}} by 41 points in the grand final.{{cite book|title=AFL 2001: The official statistical history of the AFL|year=2001 |editor=Lovett, Michael|page=16|isbn=0-9585286-7-5}}

Win/loss table

The following table can be sorted from biggest winning margin to biggest losing margin for each round. If two or more matches in a round are decided by the same margin, these margins are sorted by percentage (i.e. the lowest-scoring winning team is ranked highest and the lowest-scoring losing team is ranked lowest). Opponents are listed above the margins and home matches are in bold.
