AFLW Releases 10th Season Fixture
In a league first, the season will overlap with the AFL men’s home and away season.
The AFL has today confirmed the full fixture for the upcoming NAB AFLW Premiership season, as the league looks to celebrate iconic moments, grow rivalries and create traditions for fans in the milestone 10th season of the competition.
Kicking off on Thursday 14 August, the 2025 season will span 12 rounds over 12 weeks for the first time, followed by four weeks of finals and culminating with the NAB AFLW Grand Final on Saturday 29 November.
Since expanding the league to 18 teams, it will also be the first time the women’s season launches during the men’s home and away season with Rounds 1 and 2 of AFLW coinciding with Rounds 23 and 24 of the AFL.
Ensuring fans can support both AFLW and AFL teams while the two fixtures cross over – including into the AFL Finals Series – there will be no competing clashes among clubs. To allow for this, the AFL will make provisions for slight time changes if the match windows for a club are within one hour of overlapping, giving fans the opportunity to catch both teams in action.
The 2024 Grand Final rematch between the Brisbane Lions and the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos will be a must-watch game in Round 5, as the Lions host the Roos at Brighton Homes Arena on Sunday 14 September at 3:05pm (AEST).
Rounds 5, 6, 8 and 11 will feature fierce state rivalries across the country as the derbies, QClash and Showdown are set to fill the stands and stir up passionate supporter bases.
