Callum Mills is set to captain Sydney for the fifth straight year in 2026.
The Swans made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon, with Isaac Heeney elevated to vice captain.
Heeney has been named All Australian in each of the last two seasons, while also taking out consecutive Bob Skilton Medals.
Mills was co-captain in 2022 and 2023 before being named solo leader.
This year is the first since 2023 that Sydney has had a leadership group member who is not captain, having kept their leadership group to just the co-captains in 2024 and Mills as the solo official member last year.
Sydney Swans Senior Coach Dean Cox said both Mills and Heeney were the standout choice to take the club forward.
“Since taking over the sole captaincy, Callum has led this club unbelievably well, and he's the ideal candidate to be captain again this season,” Cox said.
“He's always been seen by players and football staff as the best person to lead this club, and despite some setbacks over the last two years, we have full confidence in his on and off-field leadership capabilities to drive this group forward.
“Isaac has had an incredible two seasons on field, and his leadership has gone to another level as well. He complements Callum perfectly with their different leadership styles, and the players voted accordingly."
Heeney said he is excited for what the upcoming season could bring.
“To be a vice-captain of such a professional and amazing sporting club, one that's got such a rich history and amazing culture is something I'm extremely proud of,” Heeney said.
“Our emerging leaders coming through are really standing up and pushing for these spots in the senior team. The competitive nature around this club and the culture we've got is amazing and we're looking forward to driving that and seeing how far we can go this year."
