The 86th Victorian Football League Premiership season commenced on 20 March 1982 and concluded on 25 September 1982 with Carlton winning their second consecutive Premiership against Richmond. Owing to the extreme drought and consequent firm grounds, the 1982 season remains the highest-scoring on record, with an average game score of 112 points: the next highest being 106 points in 1979 and 1983. St Kilda and Footscray became the only teams ever to concede 3,000 points in one season.

Notes
- The leading goalkicker was Malcolm Blight of North Melbourne with 94 goals.
- The Brownlow Medal was won by Brian Wilson.
- The inaugural VFL Players Association Most Valuable Player Award was won by Leigh Matthews. In 2002, the award was renamed the Leigh Matthews Trophy in his honour.
Notable events
- South Melbourne, affected by limited finances and loss of its inner-city support base ever since World War II, relocated to Sydney after experimental matches played by the VFL there since 1979. The team was known as just 'Swans' for the 1982 season before changing to the 'Sydney Swans' in 1983.[2]
- The high scoring of the season can be seen thus:
- 66 scores of 20 goals occurred, a record equalled only in 1991
- 57 matches where both teams scored a century - no other season had more than fifty
- In Round 16 against North Melbourne, Hawthorn set record scores of 13.3 (81) for the first quarter and 20.7 (127) for the first half. The latter record has been beaten by Brisbane against Fremantle in 2004; the former has been beaten by Essendon against Gold Coast in Round 6 2011 with a score of 15.4 (94).
