AFL Barwon is excited to release to our clubs, players, officials, and supporters the dates for the 2024 season.

The traditional Easter start date for the Bellarine FNL will continue in 2024, with a great opportunity for holiday makers to the region to get along and watch some Football and Netball.

The Dow Bellarine FNL Finals Series will kick off on August 17th, with the Grand Final being played on September 7th.

The Geelong Football Netball League will kick off on the weekend of Saturday April 13th next season. The 2024 season will see some regular Sunday football netball matches in the Geelong FNL. The Grand Final Day for the Geelong FNL has been pushed back from its usual Saturday prior to the AFL Grand Final date to the AFL Grand Final Public Holiday in 2024.
