AFLW to Host First-Ever Night Grand Final Amid Fixture Overhaul

The AFLW announces a historic night-time grand final and a revised fixture for the 2025 season to address player feedback.

The AFLW grand final will be held at night for the first time on November 30, starting at 7:45pm AEDT.
The decision to move the grand final to a night slot aims to increase viewership and create an unforgettable atmosphere.
Next season's AFLW schedule will expand to 12 games over 12 weeks, eliminating the controversial condensed fixture.
Feedback from players and staff indicated a preference for more time between games to improve player welfare and game quality.
The venue for the grand final will be determined based on the outcomes of the ongoing finals series, with several cities in contention.
