The 2024 AFL season has been revealed for 2024.

Once again, the league has decided on a floating fixture for the second half of the season, with matches from Round 16 onwards to have their dates and times determined during the year.

For the first time, the AFL will begin its season not with ‘Round 1’, but with a newly named ‘Opening Round’, featuring only four games to be played across NSW and Queensland.

The season will then continue as normal with ‘Round 1’ the week after, with the eight teams playing ‘Opening Round’ to receive byes across the opening weeks of the year.

The AFL locked in its fixture for ‘Opening Round’ in November 2023, while they revealed the fixture for the second iteration of ‘Gather Round’ in South Australia a few days earlier, with the entire fixture following shortly after.

For the second time following its inaugural success in 2023, ‘Gather Round’ will see all 18 teams congregate in South Australia for the first time, with matches played at the Adelaide Oval as well as select suburban venues.

The event is set to take place in Round 4 of the 2024 season in early April – please note that the league is not designating ‘Opening Round’ with a round number.

The season will start on Thursday, March 7 with Sydney facing Melbourne at the SCG.

It means for the second time in three years, Richmond and Carlton won’t feature as the season opener, having held that fixture in every season from 2015 to 2021. They will instead kick off ‘Round 1’ a week later in their traditional Thursday night timeslot as matches return to Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. 

The season is set to conclude with the AFL grand final on Saturday, September 28.
