The Northern Football Netball League has confirmed the 2024 season dates for the senior men’s football competition.

The senior men’s competition will again run from April to September with the official fixture set to be announced by December.

Sides in both Division 1 and Division 2 will play 18 games again in 2024, with both divisions to have a competition wide bye in late July.

With Division 3 becoming an 11-team competition following the addition of Ivanhoe and Old Paradians, a four-week finals series will take place consisting of the top five sides.

However, the structure of the home and away campaign will remain the same next year, with each side playing 16 games across 18 rounds.

NFNL Football Operations Manager Jeff Downes explained how the process was completed following feedback from senior men’s clubs.

“A thorough consultation process has been undertaken with all clubs over the past few weeks in finalising the season dates,” he said.

“They reflect majority preference received from clubs within their respective divisions.”

Season dates for the senior women’s and junior football competitions will be announced next week.
