2024 AFL Women's season | |
---|---|
Date | 30 August—30 November 2024 |
Teams | 18 |
The 2024 AFL Women's season is the upcoming ninth season of the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition, the highest-level senior women's Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season will feature 18 clubs and run from 30 August to 30 November, comprising an eleven-match home-and-away season over ten weeks, followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top eight clubs.
In February 2024, Australian Football League (AFL) executive general manager Laura Kane announced that pre-season training would start on 3 June, and that the season would begin on the last weekend of August, coinciding with the AFL's pre-finals bye weekend, as had been the case the previous two seasons. [1] The season will feature eleven home-and-away rounds, an increase from ten in 2023, and four weeks of finals. [2] Although players were on twelve-month contracts for the first time, [1] the announcement came earlier than in previous seasons following requests from players to allow sufficient notice to plan living and work arrangements. [2] Clubs had offered voluntary training during the off-season, with some allowing select players to play in state league competitions for additional exposure. [1]
The season will mark an AFLW record for female senior coaches with five, including new coaches Tamara Hyett (Western Bulldogs) and Daisy Pearce (West Coast). [3]
