Regular season

The regular season began on Friday 4 April and ended on Saturday 2 August after 18 rounds of competition.[5][6][7] Easter games in round 3 will once again see all teams play on a Thursday night, followed by Anzac Round in round 4, Heritage Round in round 9, and First Nations Round in round 14.[8] In July, a regular season fixture was played in Albany.[9][10][11]
