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 Woodville-West Torrens and West Adelaide. This was the first time the two teams have played each other in the SANFL Grand Final. West Adelaide defeated the premiership favourites Woodville-West Torrens 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 Central District 15.8 (98) to 6.9 (45) in the Preliminary Final to advance to the club's 18th SANFL Grand Final.

Entertainment

Australian alternative rock band You Am I provided the pre-game entertainment. You Am I lead singer-songwriter-guitarist Tim Rogers spent time growing up in Adelaide and attended over 600 SANFL games as a supporter of Sturt.
