2024 AFL Women's season

The 2024 AFL Women's season is the upcoming ninth season of the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition, the highest-level senior women's Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season will feature 18 clubs and run from 30 August to 30 November, comprising an eleven-match home-and-away season over ten weeks, followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top eight clubs.

Background
In February 2024, Australian Football League (AFL) executive general manager Laura Kane announced that pre-season training for the 2024 season would commence on 3 June, and that the season would begin during the last weekend of August, coinciding with the AFL's pre-finals bye weekend, as had been the case the previous two seasons. In February, an eleven-match home-and-away season was confirmed, an increase from ten matches in 2023, along with four weeks of finals. Although players were on twelve-month contracts for the first time, the announcement came earlier than in previous seasons following requests from players to allow sufficient notice to plan living and work arrangements. Clubs had offered voluntary training during the off-season, with some allowing select players to play in state league competitions for additional exposure.

The 2024 season fixture was released in May, with the eleven-match home-and-away season scheduled over ten weeks. The compressed period of the season will take place during weeks 4 to 7, with each club playing two matches in one of the four weeks; consequently, the fixture was divided by weeks rather than rounds, and matches will be played on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the compressed period to align with school holidays across Australia and focus on increased attendance and television viewership.

The season will begin on 30 August with a match between and, and conclude on 30 November with the 2024 AFL Women's Grand Final. All matches throughout the season will be broadcast live on the Seven Network, Fox Footy and Kayo. The Dreamtime match between and, to take place during Indigenous Round in week 9, will be played in Darwin for the first time, while Sydney will host Richmond in the competition's first match in Coffs Harbour in week 3; the season will also be the first to not feature a Hampson–Hardeman Cup between  and the. The season will mark an AFLW record for female senior coaches with five, including new coaches Tamara Hyett (Western Bulldogs) and Daisy Pearce.
