The premiership was won by the Coburg Football Club, after it defeated Brighton by 16 points in the final on 18 September.
It was the club's first VFA premiership, achieved in only its second season of senior competition.
[1] Camberwell had been one of the leading sub-district clubs for years, and had previously applied to join the Association on several occasions.
[8] The home-and-home season was played over eighteen rounds, with each club playing the others twice; then, the top four clubs contested a finals series under the amended Argus system to determine the premiers for the season.
It took almost two months to resolve the charges, and on 18 August, the Association found the boundary umpire not guilty; and, it found Raleigh and Hassett guilty of having made a false charge against the boundary umpire, and deregistered both players until 31 May 1927.
[16] Several clubs submitted applications to replace Brunswick in the Association, including Carnegie, Kew, Werribee and Yarraville.
