A-Leagues Commissioner, Nick Garcia said: “It’s set to be an exciting 20th year of the Isuzu UTE A-League Men. Building on last season, we can expect more exciting football, with incredible young talent and national team heroes playing the most entertaining football we’ve seen in the A-Leagues. 

“We’ve worked hard to make sure the 2024/25 fixture meets fan, partner and club feedback, and to create a new free-to-air format – with a double-header every Saturday night on Network Ten – for fans to enjoy. We can’t wait for the football to begin in October!”

It’s set to be a bumper Round 1, with a Grand Final rematch on Friday night as the Mariners host Melbourne Victory, before newcomers Auckland FC welcome Brisbane Roar to GO Media Stadium for their first ever fixture.

The opening weekend will also see a huge Sydney Derby as Western Sydney Wanderers face off with Sydney FC at CommBank Stadium on Saturday night. 

Round 2 will be headlined by the first Melbourne Derby of the 2024/25 season with Melbourne City taking on Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park. Auckland FC will then host Sydney FC as Sky Blues’ legend and current Auckland FC head coach Steve Corica faces his old side.

The rivalries continue in Round 3 with a state of origin showdown with Brisbane Roar up against Sydney FC, Western United host cross-town rivals Melbourne City, and the first-ever New Zealand derby with Wellington Phoenix taking on Auckland FC at Sky Stadium on Saturday 2 November.

The addition of a second New Zealand team will see the Isuzu UTE A-League Men season extended to 29 rounds with each club playing 24 home and away fixtures, plus two additional third-match up fixtures (Unite Round and one other match), plus three bye weeks. 

The bye placements within the full fixture have been prioritised for the two clubs participating in the AFC club competitions particularly where back-to-back continental match days occur, otherwise all other byes have been allocated at random while ensuring at least a four-match gap between each bye.
