It was the club's men's team's 127th season as a member of the Australian Football League, and the second under senior coach Michael Voss. The team recovered from a bottom four position at midseason to finish fifth in the home-and-away season with a 13–9–1 record, and ultimately finished third after reaching the preliminary finals. It was Carlton's first time qualifying for finals since 2013, ending a club-record nine-year finals drought; and its highest finishing position since 2000.
The club's women's team contested its eighth season of the AFL Women's, finishing twelfth out of eighteen teams with a 4–6 record. The club also fielded its men's reserves team in the Victorian Football League and its state level women's team in the VFL Women's.
