Premiership season[edit]
Notable features of the draw include:
- The naming rights of York Park were bought by University of Tasmania from Aurora Energy in the week prior to the full fixture being released, and will be known as the University of Tasmania Stadium.[1]
- North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs will play in the AFL's first ever Good Friday match, which will be played at Etihad Stadium.[2][3]
- Due to poor results in 2016, Richmond will not feature on Friday nights during the premiership season, however they do start the season with two consecutive Thursday night matches.[4]
- Port Adelaide and Gold Coast will compete in the first AFL premiership match outside of Australia and New Zealand when they meet in round eight at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai, China, with the match to be televised live on the Seven Network.[5][6] Both teams will have the bye the following round, while the remaining 16 teams will have their byes from rounds 11 to 13.[7]
- Due to redevelopment, Simonds Stadium will be unavailable until round nine, when Geelong will play a Friday night match against reigning premiers the Western Bulldogs.[8]
- Following improved form in 2016, Greater Western Sydney will play three Friday night premiership matches during the season, in rounds six, seven and twenty-one.[9]
- The Western Bulldogs will also compete in the first AFL premiership match to be played at Eureka Stadium in Ballarat when they face Port Adelaide in round 22. The match will also be the first AFL premiership match in a Victorian regional venue, other than Geelong, since a one-off round of promotional matches held in 1952 VFL season.[10]
- All starting times are local.
