The 2022 AFL season is the 126th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest level senior men's Australian rules football competition in Australia, which was known as the Victorian Football League until 1989. The season features eighteen clubs, is scheduled to run from 16 March until 24 September, and to comprise a 22-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top eight clubs.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

The 2022 season is being played during the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the start of the season, the roll-out of Australia's vaccination program was almost complete with 95% of adults vaccinated to a two-dose standard and about 50% having received a booster;[1] and across all states except for Western Australia, practically all social and interstate travel restrictions which had been in place through the latter half of 2021 had been lifted;[2] Western Australia maintained some restrictions into the start of the season.[3] Cases of the virus, particularly the omicron variant which became dominant in December 2021, were widespread in the community for the first time in the pandemic; and confirmed cases and their close contacts were still required to test and isolate, although for shorter periods than earlier in the pandemic.[4]

The main impacts of the pandemic to the AFL season were:

  • The league implemented a Vaccination Policy requiring all players and football department staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19;[5] equivalent requirements were implemented by some state governments.[6] Two players – Liam Jones (Carlton) and Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Brisbane Lions) – retired as a result of the mandate.[7]
  • A player top-up policy was put in place to cover the event of a substantial portion of a team being forced into isolation. Each club could nominate twenty top-up players from their affiliated state league and reserves systems; those players would become eligible to play if fewer than 28 main list players were available due for COVID-19 reasons, but would not otherwise be contracted to the club.[8]

Pre-season

AFL Community Series

Main article: 2022 AAMI Community Series

The pre-season series of games returned as the 2022 AAMI Community Series, with teams playing one game each. The games were stand-alone, with no overall winner of the series. All games were televised live on Fox Footy.

Premiership season

The AFL announced the round 1 fixture on 4 December, with Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs opening the season in a rematch of the previous season's grand final.[9] Accor Stadium hosted its first premiership match since the 2016 Qualifying Final, with a Sydney Derby between Greater Western Sydney and Sydney fixtured for the ground in round one.[10]

The remainder of the fixture was released on 9 December, with only the first nine rounds released with dates and times for each match. The remainder of the fixture from round 10 was left as a floating fixture so as to prioritize the best matches for each round in prime-time slots.[11] For the first time since 2001, some Friday nights had two scheduled games, each time to take games away from a less favourable or otherwise occupied timeslot later in the weekend; the broadcast times of the two matches overlapped partially.[12]
