PORT ADELAIDE will kick off its 2024 NAB AFLW Season in the last week of August.

The AFL has today confirmed the NAB AFLW Season will coincide with the pre-finals bye in the Toyota AFL Premiership Season, as it has done for the past two years.

The confirmation of the season start date means AFLW players will be expected to report for pre-season training from Monday, 3 June.

AFL’s Executive General Manager Football Laura Kane said she was pleased to be able to confirm the start date of the season and the players return to training.

“After a record-breaking season eight and our best finals campaign in our history, the NAB AFLW Competition is poised to go from strength to strength this year and are looking forward to having the players back on the training ground in early June,” Kane said.

“We’re pleased to launch the NAB AFLW Season during the pre-finals bye once again which gives the competition a clear window to get off to a great start and build momentum ahead of another incredible season.”

The fixture for the 2024 NAB AFLW Season, including the NAB AFLW Grand Final date, will be announced in due course.
