The 2022 AFL season draw and fixtures have been released.

While the full draw of ‘who is playing who’ has been released only the first nine rounds have been locked in for exact dates and TV broadcasters.
The remaining rounds will be finalised in a rolling schedule to allow the AFL to remain flexible and to allow blockbuster games to be better scheduled in the business end of the season.

The season starts on Wednesday March 16 with a grand final re-match.

Melbourne were crowned premiers of the 2021 season after defeating the Western Bulldogs by 74 points in the grand final.
