The 2024 AFL Women's season is the ninth season of the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition, the highest-level senior women's Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season features 18 clubs and will 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.

Background

In February 2024, Australian Football League (AFL) executive general manager Laura Kane announced that pre-season training for the 2024 season would commence on 3 June, and that the season would begin during the last weekend of August, coinciding with the AFL's pre-finals bye weekend, as had been the case the previous two seasons. [1] In February, an eleven-match home-and-away season was confirmed, an increase from ten matches in 2023, along with 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 2024 season fixture was released in May, with the eleven-match home-and-away season scheduled over ten weeks. [3] The compressed period of the season will take place during weeks 4 to 7, with each club playing two matches in one of the four weeks; [4] consequently, the fixture was divided by weeks rather than rounds, and matches will be played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the compressed period to align with school holidays across Australia [5] and focus on increased attendance and television viewership. [4] Leading into the season, reigning grand finalists ‹See Tfd› North Melbourne and Brisbane were heavily favoured to at least make the grand final again in 2024, with experts from Code Sports [6] and ESPN predicting that one of the two clubs would win the premiership [7] and 17 of the 18 club captains tipping either North Melbourne or Brisbane as the club most likely to reach the grand final outside of their own. [8]

Overview

The season began on 30 August with a match between ‹See Tfd› Sydney and ‹See Tfd› Collingwood, [9] and will conclude on 30 November with the 2024 AFL Women's Grand Final. [10] All matches throughout the season will be broadcast live on the Seven Network, Fox Footy and Kayo. [11] Sydney was awarded the right to host the opening match of the season after averaging the highest home crowds during the 2023 home-and-away season with 4,637, more than 2,000 over the league average; the match marked the first time the season opener was held outside of Victoria. [12] The Dreamtime match between ‹See Tfd› Essendon and ‹See Tfd› Richmond, to take place during Indigenous Round in week 9, will be played in Darwin for the first time, [3] while Sydney hosted Richmond in the competition's first match in Coffs Harbour in week 3; [10] the season was the first to not feature a Hampson–Hardeman Cup between ‹See Tfd› Melbourne and the ‹See Tfd› Western Bulldogs. [13] The season marked an AFLW record for female senior coaches with five, including new coaches Tamara Hyett (Western Bulldogs) and Daisy Pearce ( ‹See Tfd› West Coast). [14]

In August, the AFL announced that a new "smart footy" ball-tracking technology would be introduced for the upcoming season at all venues, in which a chip is embedded in the football and tracked by sensors around the field; the system, which had been trialled for 18 months (including at Victorian Football League (VFL) and VFL Women's (VFLW) level), would be used to assist with reviewing scores, including alerting officials when the football crosses the goal line, hits the goal post or is touched mid-shot. [15] After the technology was successfully used twice in week 1, marking the first use of a score review system in the AFLW, AFL general manager of footy operations Josh Mahoney said that the league would work towards implementing graphics in television broadcasts and at venues to give fans an insight into the review process, similar to the replays used for score reviews in the AFL.
