Geelong will host five AFLW matches at GMHBA Stadium including a round one home game to kick start the season.
The AFLW fixture was released this week and the Cats will also play two games in Melbourne, one in Warrnambool and will venture outside the state twice to take on GWS and Port Adelaide.
The Cats will open the season in front of the local fans at GMHBA Stadium against Western Bulldogs before hitting the road to North Sydney Oval in round two to take on the Swans.
The Cats will take on North Melbourne in round three under lights on a Friday night at home.
The AFLW will celebrate and recognise the contribution of past and current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players in rounds seven and eight in AFLW Indigenous Round, with the club facing Fremantle at GMHBA Stadium in round seven and Collingwood in round eight at Victoria Park.
Rounding out the home and away season, Geelong will travel up the highway to Ikon Park to play Richmond in round nine before finishing the season at home in round 10 against Hawthorn in the AFLW Pride Round.
Geelong CEO Steve Hocking said the club was eagerly anticipating the season and was looking forward to building on from the club’s finals appearance last season.
“Our fixture has provided us a host of thrilling matchups, family-friendly timeslots, and exciting opportunities, and the Club is poised to continue our impressive journey in the AFLW so far in the 2023 season,” he said.
“We love playing at home and we can’t wait to play at GMHBA Stadium throughout the season, however our fixture also presents exciting opportunities for fans based outside of Geelong including heading to Alberton Oval in Adelaide and North Sydney Oval for the first time, games in Melbourne against Richmond and Collingwood, and once again in Warrnambool where both our women’s and men’s playing groups have enjoyed spending time in the community.
“We look forward to the season ahead and seeing coach Dan Lowther, captain Meg McDonald and the team build on last season.”
