The 2025 AFL Women's season is the tenth 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 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]

Background

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. ^[3]

The following table can be sorted from biggest winning margin to biggest losing margin for each round. If two or more matches in a round are decided by the same margin, these margins are sorted by percentage (i.e. the lowest-scoring winning team is ranked highest and the lowest-scoring losing team is ranked lowest). Home matches are in bold, and opponents are listed above the margins.
