The 2015 South Australian National Football League (SANFL) grand final was played at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, 27 September 2015, to determine the 2015 SANFL premiership team.
Teams
The Grand Final was contested by the 2015 minor premiers {{SANFL WWT}} and {{SANFL WestA}}. This was the first time the two teams have played each other in the SANFL Grand Final. {{SANFL WestA}} defeated the premiership favourites {{SANFL WWT}} by 30 points to claim their ninth premiership overall and first since 1983 (thirty-two years, the second-longest premiership drought in SANFL history).
Woodville-West Torrens won their way into the club's 9th Grand Final after defeating West Adelaide 11.13 (79) to 9.11 (65) in the Second Semi-final. A week later, West Adelaide defeated {{SANFL Cen}} 15.8 (98) to 6.9 (45) in the Preliminary Final to advance to the club's 18th SANFL Grand Final.
Entertainment
