With the new year just around the corner, it’s time to turn our attention to the upcoming 2023 AFL season which promises to be one of the most exciting yet!
The AFL tested the waters with a Grand Final replay to kick things off last season, but that has been scrapped in 2023 as we revert back to a Richmond vs Carlton clash to begin Round 1 on Thursday March 16.
One of the new features of the 2023 fixture is the ‘Gather Round’, which will take place in South Australia in Round 5 with all 18 clubs playing in the state on the same weekend for Premiership points.
There will also be 24 rounds instead of the 23 we’ve become accustomed to in recent seasons. In 2023, Round 24 will conclude on Sunday August 27.
There is plenty to look forward to throughout the season, and you can see the full 2023 AFL Fixture below.
