AUSTRALIA SOCCER - A-LEAGUE

The 2016/17 A-League season kicks off on Friday, October 7, 2016, and runs through to the grand final on Sunday, May 7. The 2016/17 season is the 12th edition of the A-League, and Fox Sports will again be showing all games live, while SBS will share a match for free-to-air coverage on Friday nights. SBS will also show all finals games on a one-hour delay.

Highlights of the draw include a busy Christmas/New Years period which will see 10 games played in 11 days, and a blockbuster opening fortnight which will feature both the Sydney and Melbourne derbies and a grand final replay. The competition will also feature a split round during Round 23 in order to accommodate the teams playing in the Asian Champions League.

The A-League is contested by ten teams: nine located across Australia and one from New Zealand.
