Whoops I just found them under Continental league.

Hey, Philip. Thanks for reaching out! The Gridiron Uniform Database has this info. Just go to the AFL, then select a year, and they have the complete schedules, including pre-season games, broken down by week and notes if they were played at neutral sites: https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/
