A-League Men 2026‑27 season fixtures released

The Australian Professional Leagues have published the full Isuzu UTE A‑League Men 2026‑27 schedule. Each of the 12 clubs will play 26 matches across 28 matchweeks, with two split rounds in December and February. The season opens with a Friday night Sydney Derby between Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers at Allianz Stadium on 16 October, followed by additional derbies in January and April, as well as Melbourne, Brisbane and other rivalry fixtures.

New themed rounds include a two‑week "Grassroots Celebration" in matchweeks 19‑20 to honour community football, and an ANZAC Commemoration in matchweek 26. The competition will continue through the Asian Cup (7 January‑5 February) and observe FIFA international windows in November and March. Western United will miss a second consecutive season, while the league will be broadcast on Paramount+ with one free‑to‑air match on Network 10.

Club‑specific releases confirm home fixtures for Western Sydney Wanderers, Melbourne Victory and others, highlighting marquee clashes such as the Boxing Day game against Newcastle Jets, New Year’s Day local derby with Macarthur FC, and multiple meetings with Auckland FC and Melbourne City. The schedule also accounts for AFC club competition commitments for the three Australian representatives.
