The 2017/18 A-League season kicked off on Friday, October 6, 2017, and runs through to the grand final in early May.
The 2017-18 season is the 13th edition of the A-League, and Foxtel will again be showing all games live via Fox Sports, while Network Ten will broadcast one match per week for free-to-air coverage on Saturday nights. They will also show all finals games live and free in a welcome change for football fans from the one-hour delay free-to-air customers had to put up with in previous seasons.
Highlights of the draw include a busy summer period which will see 25 games played in 25 days, and a blockbuster opening fortnight which will feature both the Sydney and Melbourne derbies and a grand final replay.
The competition will also feature two split rounds – Round 20 and 22 – in order to accommodate the teams playing in the Asian Champions League.
The A-League is contested by ten teams: nine located across Australia and one from New Zealand.
