Everything we know about AFLW in 2025

As we prepare for the 10th AFLW season, we take a look at what you can expect in season 2025

www.hawthornfc.com.au

• 2025 season will comprise 12 home and away rounds in 12 weeks, followed by four weeks of finals.
• Season starts two weeks earlier, on August 11, coinciding with round 23 of the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
  The Grand Final will remain on the last Saturday of November, which this year falls on Saturday, November 29.
• Pre-seasons in the week beginning Monday, May 19. Last year most of the Hawthorn AFLW list, on a rotating basis, turned out for a game or two at Box Hill VFLW prior to pre-season start, so assume the same will happen this year.

And the latest from Soaring to New Heights copied over from the 2024 thread.

Wasn't sure what thread to put this in but I wrote an article last week for Soaring to New Heights about why Hawthorn and Port Adelaide is the next great rivalry in the AFLW
