Australia’s women’s sports have had a huge year. The Matildas came in fourth at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the Diamonds netball team won the World Cup after a great game against England, and the Wallaroos beat both Fiji and Team USA in the Pacific Four Series, and it’s only August.
Seven has revealed that the upcoming AFLW season will be shown on Seven and 7plus. This comes as more and more Australian women’s teams are (finally) getting the attention they deserve.
The AFL Women’s was started in 2016 and is the main Australian Rules Football League for women in Australia. In February 2017, the first season started with eight teams. The game has been very successful, and in 2019, there will be ten teams. Now, the 2023 season is about to start, and an amazing 18 teams will be playing.
Whether you’re an AFL fan getting ready for the next season or a new AFLW fan learning the ropes, there’s something for everyone. We’ve got all the information you need about the new AFLW season.

Prize Money for AFLW
Before the start of the women’s season in 2023, the AFL stated in August 2023 that prize money for both the men’s and women’s competitions will be the same for the first time.
The prize money for both the men’s and women’s games will add up to $1.1 million. This is almost double what the AFLW used to offer.
