2024 SANFL Fixture

Blockbuster matches in the early rounds are a significant feature of an exciting 2024 Hostplus SANFL League fixture released on Wednesday.

With a marquee Round 1 schedule – including Norwood hosting Sturt under lights at Coopers Stadium in the season-opener on Easter Thursday – enticing match-ups will ensure the high-quality competition begins with great anticipation.

Four matches will be played on Good Friday, complemented by a huge Easter Thursday night clash to be played between neighbouring rivals, the Redlegs and Double Blues, at The Parade.

Norwood will then host reigning premiers Glenelg at Coopers Stadium in Round 2 on Friday, April 12 before heading to Port Lincoln to take on West Adelaide in the annual Eyre Peninsula game on Saturday, April 20.

The Redlegs will take on Port Adelaide at Alberton over the Anzac weekend, and will play Sturt in a King’s Birthday clash on Monday, June 10 at Unley.

“We are really excited about the marquee match-ups, particularly in the opening rounds,” SANFL Head of Football Operations Sean Toohey said.

“It promises to be an intriguing start to the Hostplus SANFL League season while maximising the potential for significant attendances amid the milder weather.

“We are also really excited to be showcasing the competition in South Australia’s regional areas, providing our country followers with a chance to watch their favourite teams up close, in familiar locations.”
