The Australian Professional Leagues (APL) has today released the full fixture for the Ninja A-League Women 2026/27 season which kicks off on Saturday 17 October.
The nineteenth season of the Ninja A-League will be played over 22 Matchweeks – a full home-and-away season with each team having two byes – with Matchweek 1 headlined by a Grand Final rematch in Wellington as the Phoenix host Melbourne City, and Matildas Yallop and Vine face-off against each other at their new clubs.
The 2026/27 fixture focuses even more on families and making matches more accessible for the core fanbase of the Ninja A-League; limiting midweek matches outside of the festive summer period, reducing the number of Friday night fixtures and securing more family-friendly kick off times.
“We have created a draw that has brought together feedback from all of our stakeholders to make our game more accessible, and to build upon the success of last season to provide a competition that continues to be the best in Asia.”
“Families are the heartbeat of the Ninja A-League, and this season we have limited midweek matches, reduced the number of Friday night fixtures and have more matches at family-friendly kick off times.”
“We look forward to another action-packed season and a thrilling race to the Final Series, ahead of an exciting 12 months for the women’s game globally,” said Steve Rosich, APL CEO.
The Ninja A-League will observe all FIFA international windows, including the November, February and April breaks ahead of the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil starting at the end of June.
