The 2024/25 A-League season is underway from Friday October 18, 2024
Soccer betting is one of the most popular sports markets in the country and the premier professional football competition in Australia is the A-League.
Run by the Football Federation Australia (FFA) the annual A-League season runs from late October through until early May the following year. The league was founded in 2004 ahead of the first season in 2005/06 following on from the now defunct National Soccer League (NSL).
There were 12 A-League teams in the competition for the last time in the 2023-24 season with eleven from Australia and one New Zealand-based club.
The A-League underwent an expansion to 13 teams in 2024–25 with the addition of Auckland with two New Zealand clubs now in the competition.
Teams face off over a 29-round regular season leading up to the finals series with Macarthur FC previously the newest team in the comp after making their A-League season debut for the 2020-21 season.
Auckland FC joins the league from 2024-25.
For the 2020/21 A-League season there were only 22 weeks of play and byes for clubs during the regular season draw were abolished.
There was a mid-season break in the 2022/23 A-League Men season from November 18, 2022 to December 8, 2022 due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup being held in Qatar.
The current 2024/25 A-League season is known as the Isuzu UTE A-League due to sponsorship.
The 2024/25 Isuzu UTE A-League Men season will be extended to 29 rounds to accommodate the addition of a second New Zealand team. Each club will play 24 home and away fixtures, along with two additional matches (Unite Round and one other match), and three bye weeks.
