I was trying to work out if I was a little late starting this thread compared with previous seasons, but upon checking saw that we were approx the same time period last year
We've had a few VFLW announcements over recent weeks, so hence kicking off this thread
We'll start with the most important news, and that's the fixture;
The opening round of the 2025 rebel VFLW season will begin the weekend of April 18-20, while the final round of the home and away season will be played the weekend of August 2-3.
The competition will consist of a 14-round home and away season, which will be played across 16 weeks and feature two competition byes.
The rebel VFLW finals format will remain unchanged, with the top-six teams on the ladder at the conclusion of the home and away season to qualify for the 2025 rebel VFLW Finals Series.
All matches in the 2025 Smithy’s VFL and rebel VFLW seasons will be live streamed free via AFL.com.au, the AFL Live Official App and the VFL App. Additional broadcast arrangements will be confirmed shortly.
Ticketing Where Smithy’s VFL matches are ticketed, entry is $10 for adults, $5 for concession holders and kids under 15 are free. Some venues don't charge for entry. AFL ticketing prices apply for VFL matches played as curtain-raisers and curtain-closers to AFL matches.
Entry to VFLW matches is free. Where venues host VFL and VFLW double-headers, entry fees will apply after half time of the VFLW match if played first.
