It has been confirmed in the early hours of this morning that the new AFL Women’s season will start on the final weekend in August after the long-awaited new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) had been agreed to between the AFL and the AFL Players Association (AFLPA).

Key dates of the season have also been confirmed from May 30th until the Grand Final weekend on November 25th-27th. August will be the new start date going forward to avoid the clashes of both Test Cricket season and the Tennis season.
