The 2023 AFL fixture has been released, with the AFL confirming a 10-round season for this year's competition, which will commence Friday, September 1.

The home and away season will run until the first weekend of November before a four-week finals series that same month.

Melbourne and Collingwood will open the new season at Princes Park to kick off the opening round, which falls in the pre-finals bye week for the AFL's men's competition.

Round 1 will also see a Showdown take place at Norwood Oval, while the Sydney Derby and Western Derby will also take place.

For the first time since 2019, Melbourne and Geelong will go head-to-head, with that fixture to take place on the Thursday during the AFL's Grand Final week celebrations. Four matches will be held on the public holiday that Friday, while a game between Collingwood and Essendon at Olympic Park will take place Saturday morning.

Indigenous Round will be held across Rounds 7 and 8, while Pride Round will follow in Round 10.

Details for Round 10 will be confirmed at a later date to ensure clubs likely to play finals are given a longer break prior to the post-season series.
