The start of the new season always feels that little bit closer when the fixtures are released and there is certainly plenty for Glory Members and fans to get excited about ahead of the 2023/24 ISUZU UTE A-League and Liberty A-League campaigns!
For the first time in ALW history, each team will play 22 games and Round One is a stand-alone fixture, with the Glory Women welcoming last season’s Grand Finalists Western United to Macedonia Park on Saturday 14 October.
The Glory Men, under new Head Coach Alen Stajcic, then swing into action the following Sunday (22nd October) in a blockbuster ALW/ALM double-header at HBF Park when Newcastle Jets will provide the opposition.
Both sides will feature in another double-header on New Year’s Eve, this time in Gosford against Central Coast Mariners.
The full sets of ALM and ALW fixtures can be found below, along with our guide to some of the key clashes to look out for…
The first of Glory Men’s 13 home games is the aforementioned home ALW/ALM double-header on Sunday 22 October and after a Round 2 Distance Derby trip to Wellington, the men in purple will return to Perth to host last year’s Champions, Central Coast Mariners, on Saturday 4 November.
A sequence of three away games are on the agenda as November gives way to December and either side of Christmas, Glory will play twice at HBF Park as well as travelling to Newcastle Jets and Central Coast for the traditional New Year’s Eve clash with the Mariners.
2024 opens with two mouth-watering homes games as traditional heavyweights Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC head west and January is completed by back-to-back away fixtures in New South Wales against Western Sydney Wanderers and Macarthur FC.
Three of February’s games are at home, versus Melbourne City, Brisbane Roar and Wellington Phoenix, while March throws up an even split of two away away matches in Victoria and two HBF Park dates with Newcastle Jets (9th) and Western Sydney Wanderers (16th).
And that pattern is repeated in April, the final month of the regular season, as Adelaide United and Western United visit Perth and Glory travel to Melbourne City and in the last round, Sydney FC.
