Hawthorn’s 2025 AFLW fixture has been unveiled with the Hawks set to start the 2025 NAB AFLW Premiership Season against last year’s grand finalists, the Brisbane Lions, at Brighton Homes Arena on Saturday 17 August at 12.40pm. 

The Hawks will then return to their home ground of Kinetic Stadium to host Carlton under Saturday night lights, the first of five games the brown and gold will play under lights throughout the 2025 season. 

Hawthorn will host another four games in Frankston in Round 5 against the Adelaide Crows (Sunday 14 September at 3.05pm), taking on Fremantle in Round 8 (Thursday 2 October at 7.15pm), Round 9 against the Gold Coast Suns (Saturday 11 October at 3.05pm) and a Round 12 clash with the reigning premiers in North Melbourne, with a date and time still to be confirmed.

The Hawks return to their home away from home in Cairns for a clash with St Kilda at Cazalys Stadium in Round 4 (Saturday 5 September at 7.15pm) as part of Indigenous Round, which will span Rounds 3 and 4.

Hawthorn will play away games at four Victorian venues for the year and one other interstate clash against Port Adelaide at Alberton Oval in Round 10 (Friday 17 October at 6.45 ACDT / 7.15pm AEDT).

For the first time in the league’s history, Pride Round will span across two rounds, in Rounds 9 and 10.

Hawthorn Chief Executive Officer Ash Klein said that the club’s AFLW fixture features some exciting matchups for the brown and gold.

“We’re looking forward to starting our season against a quality opposition in the Brisbane Lions, who narrowly beat us in last year’s finals series, but certainly a great challenge to begin our 2025 campaign,” Klein said.

“While the finishing touches are being made to our future home the Kennedy Community Centre, we are thrilled to be hosting games in front of our Frankston faithful who have been such a great support for us since our very first season.

“Our first home game of the season will again be against Carlton, hosting a game under lights at Kinetic Stadium in Round 2, which serves as the perfect first opportunity for our local fans to get down and watch the team.

“Then our home game in Cairns comes early in the season, taking on St Kilda in Round 4. We can’t wait to get back to Cazalys Stadium, which always provides such great support for us, creating an amazing atmosphere from the footy-loving region.

“We have some exciting clashes scheduled both at home and away in Victoria against the likes of Adelaide, Geelong, Fremantle, Essendon and North Melbourne, so there is ample opportunity to support our AFLW Hawks.

“We cannot wait for the season to begin and we encourage anyone who hasn’t yet signed up to be an AFLW member to do so to ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action!”

Hawthorn fans can show their support for the AFLW season by signing up for a Hawks AFLW membership, which are in high demand after the club reached its all-time membership record earlier this month. The club thanks its loyal existing AFLW members for their support each and every year.
