The season features 18 clubs and will run from 14 August to 29 November, comprising a twelve-round home-and-away season followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top eight clubs. [1]

Carlton and Collingwood players contest the football in round 1

In September 2024, Australian Football League (AFL) chief executive officer Andrew Dillon announced that the 2025 season would have an earlier start date than previous seasons to accommodate an extra home-and-away match, [2] and in November, AFL executive general manager Laura Kane announced that a twelve-match home-and-away season would be played over twelve weeks in 2025, abandoning the strategy of a compressed fixture trialled in 2024 where eleven matches were played over ten weeks.
