AFL releases official 2025 pre-season fixture

The AFL has released its official 2025 Community Series fixture.

The pre-season round will take place between February 25 and March 2, one week before Opening Round begins in New South Wales and Queensland.

The league has also modified some rules for the Community Series, with squads of 30 with eight interchange and four emergencies permitted, no interchange cap and a full panel of umpires officiating the clashes.

Games will also be the same length as Premiership Season fixtures with four quarters of 20 minutes plus time on.

All games will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo Sports.
