The 2025 AFL Women's season is the tenth season of the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition, the highest-level senior women's Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season features 18 clubs and will run from 14 August to 29 November, comprising a twelve-round home-and-away season followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top eight clubs.[1]
Background

In September 2024, Australian Football League (AFL) chief executive officer Andrew Dillon announced that the 2025 season would have an earlier start date than previous seasons to accommodate an extra home-and-away match,[2] and in November, AFL executive general manager Laura Kane announced that a twelve-match home-and-away season would be played over twelve weeks in 2025, abandoning the strategy of a compressed fixture trialled in 2024 where eleven matches were played over ten weeks.[3]
