The 2021 AFL Women's season is the fifth season of the elite women's Australian rules football competition. Fourteen teams are competing in the league, the same number as the previous season, all of which are associated with existing Australian Football League (AFL) clubs.

The season commenced on 28 January and will conclude with the Grand Final on 18 or 19 April.[1][2]

Format

The previous two AFLW seasons were formatted with the assistance of conferences, which split the league's clubs into two ranking tables. The AFL elected to remove the conferences for the 2021 season and revert to a single ladder. Under the terms of the existing contractual bargaining agreement between the players and the AFL, teams will play nine regular season matches, before a three-week finals series for the top six teams occurs.[3] Owing to the fact clubs will not get the opportunity to play all of their opponents once, the AFL placed the teams together in a single 2020 ladder and then broke them up into brackets to attempt a fair fixture for the 2021 season.[1]
