AFL releases 2025 fixture for Round 16 to 23

The AFL has released a majority of the remaining 2025 fixtures, locking in games from Round 16 to Round 23.

All dates, times and venues have been finalised, confirming each fixture for eight of the last nine rounds of the season.

Each round holds a Friday night prime time slot, with the introduction of Friday night double headers commencing in Round 17.

The contentious fixture between Gold Coast and Essendon has been rostered for Round 24, yet to be determined after being rescheduled from Opening Round.

Round 18's clash between the Western Bulldogs and Adelaide has officially been moved from Ballarat to Marvel Stadium, with the two sides scheduled for the 1:20pm slot.

Round 23 features as the only round without a Thursday night slot, with a Friday night double header seeing a clash between Essendon versus St Kilda and Fremantle versus Brisbane.

Round 24 will be scheduled at a later date.
