The Western Bulldogs have landed a bumper fixture ahead of the 2025 NAB AFLW Season, filled with marquee match-ups and family-friendly timeslots.

Our red, white and blue army will have the perfect opportunity to cheer loudly during the opening round, as the Dogs host fellow pioneers Melbourne. The Saturday night fixture aligns with the Club’s desire to pack out Mission Whitten Oval regularly in 2025, as the team strives to move up the AFLW ladder this season.

Indigenous Round against Hawthorn in Round 3 continues this theme, with a 7:15pm bounce under lights at Mission Whitten Oval on Saturday 30 August.

Round 6 against the 2024 Grand Finalists Brisbane allows for our fans and members to flock to Footscray with their families, with the match beginning at 3:05pm on Sunday 21 September.

A Grand Final Eve spectacular is also included in the Dogs’ fixture, taking on Collingwood at Mission Whitten Oval on the Friday night prior to the men’s decider. A special way to start one of the most exciting weekends on the Melbourne football calendar, our fans will be treated to a hive of activity around the ground, promising to appeal to all ages.

The Club’s annual Pride Game continues to sit as a premier marquee game across the AFLW competition, and this year the Dogs will host the Bombers on a Friday night, with the clash expected to draw another large crowd to Mission Whitten Oval.

Mars Stadium will play host to our match against Geelong in Round 11 on Sunday 26 October, continuing the Club’s ongoing presence in Ballarat, our home away from home. 

Round 12 against St Kilda at RSEA Park will remain a floating fixture.

Eight of the Club’s 12 games are against Victorian opponents, while travelling interstate only three times to Canberra, Adelaide and Mackay.

With an exciting playing list and great fixture full of bumper matches, there is no better time to join the Bulldogs pack and become a member. 

Ticketing information will be released in due course.
