The season featured twelve clubs and ran from 30 April to 1 October, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season followed by a three-week finals series featuring the top four clubs.
Collingwood won the premiership, defeating Richmond by twelve points in the 1927 VFL grand final; it was Collingwood's sixth VFL premiership. Collingwood also won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 15–3 win–loss record. Collingwood's Syd Coventry won the Brownlow Medal as the league's best and fairest player, and his brother and teammate Gordon Coventry won his second consecutive leading goalkicker medal as the league's leading goalkicker.
