After months of negotiations, Adelaide has been confirmed as the home of this year's AFL National Draft.

The League announced it would hold the draft on Tuesday, November 24, which will be the first time in nearly 20 years the city has hosted the annual meeting of clubs.

It will start at 5.30pm ACDT time at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said it was great to take the draft back to Adelaide after its stint in Queensland.

"The nature of the event allows us to review the location every few years and it is exciting that another city, and another market of fans, will be able to witness the AFL Draft live," McLachlan said.  

"The AFL industry looks forward to descending on the great city of Adelaide in November when we welcome the next wave of talented footballers into the 18 clubs."

The introduction of live bidding on father-son and academy prospects is likely to add a new element to the draft this year.

The post-season player movement period begins six days after the 2015 Grand Final, on Friday, October 9.

Key post-season dates:

Friday, October 9 - AFL Restricted Free Agency Offer and Unrestricted Free Agency Period Commences.
