The AFL is pleased to announce Round One of the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture.

The Brisbane Lions will travel to Adelaide Oval for the first round of the home and away season, taking on Port Adelaide Saturday 18 March at 4:05pm (Local)

AFL EGM Clubs, Broadcast and Fixturing Travis Auld said the Round One fixture gets the home and away season off to a flyer.

“We are always aiming to get our season off to the best possible start, and with four big clubs, traditional rivalries, 150,000+ fans at the MCG over the first two nights and with millions more watching around the country, it gives the competition the best opportunity to kickstart the 2023 season,” Mr Auld said.

“It’s been a big year and come Round One the anticipation for the return of football will be palpable and bring not only Melbourne to life, but all the cities hosting matches in the opening rounds.”

“Recent history has shown the competition is closer than ever, and we look forward to Round One setting the scene for what shapes to be thrilling and dramatic home and away season.”

The 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture for the first 15 Rounds, and then rounds, match ups and venues for the remaining home and away matches will be released later this week.
