← 2022

The 2023 AFL season will be the 127th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior men's Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season will feature eighteen clubs and is scheduled to run from 16 March until 30 September, comprising a 23-game home-and-away season, the longest in league history, followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs.

Background

The fixture was extended to 23 matches per club, the longest in history. This was to accommodate the introduction of the 'Gather Round' – known in full as 'Gather Round... a festival of footy' – a special round featuring all eighteen clubs playing in the same city; this was modelled on the Magic Round, which the National Rugby League had scheduled annually since 2019.[1][2] South Australia won the bid for the event, beating a bid from New South Wales.[3] Six of the nine matches will take place at Adelaide Oval, with Norwood Oval (two) and Summit Oval, Mount Barker (one) each to host their first AFL matches;[4] and the Saturday and Sunday fixtures at Adelaide Oval were staged as ticketed double-headers, with a single ticket granting access to both matches.[5] For all practical purposes – including distribution of gate receipts, benefits and reserved seating for club members, and clash uniform colours – the round is considered a neutral AFL event, and clubs will be considered neither home nor away, meaning each club still plays eleven home games and eleven away games for the season (clubs below are listed alphabetically). All club members were given priority access to Gather Round tickets.[6]
