Cats host Tigers in round one

Geelong will begin its AFLW season with a home game against Richmond on August 28.

The Cats will play the Tigers in a twilight fixture at GMHBA Stadium following the announcement of the 2022 NAB AFLW Competition fixture on Monday.

Geelong will play at GMHBA Stadium four times this season – against Richmond, Collingwood, St Kilda and Sydney.

Geelong will also host West Coast at Okon Park in round 8, which is Pride Round.

All 18 clubs will host an Indigenous Round clash, with celebrations spread across Rounds 3 and 4.

Playing a 10-round season, the Cats will also have away games against rivals in North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos (Launceston), Western Bulldogs (Ballarat), Essendon (Warrnambool) and Adelaide (Adelaide).

Geelong CEO Steve Hocking said the club was excited to welcome the new fixture.

“The Season 7 fixture is going to provide our members and supporters a number of opportunities to rally behind the team,” he said.

“In addition, our travel schedule will allow a number of our interstate members and supporters to get along to the football and see the Cats in action in their home states.”
