Overview

• The 2025 AFLW season kicks off on August 14 at Leederville Oval with the West Coast Eagles hosting the Gold Coast Suns.
• The home-and-away fixture spans 12 rounds and runs through to a November 29 grand final hosted by the highest-ranked preliminary final winner.
• No matches are scheduled at major AFL venues or as double-headers with men’s games, prompting player frustration over limited big-stadium opportunities.
• Match-ups are weighted by last season’s ladder into three groups of six to intensify intrastate rivalries throughout the campaign.
• The fixture includes two-week Indigenous and Pride rounds in rounds three–four and nine–ten, with a floating final round to allow for scheduling flexibility.
