quote from Patrick Clancy (spokesperson for Football Supporters Association Australia) said to me that he's guessing that's the reason why ALM decider is two weeks later than 2025/26 decider (possibly due to Asian Cup) sometimes the quirks of the calendar push the finals series one way or the other.

lets wait and see for official explanation from the A Leagues when fixture drops later this week.

A-League Men fixtures for the opening matchday of season 2026-27 have already been released via the A-Leagues app, with the full fixture to be released tomorrow but there's no word yet on when the Dub fixture release is unfortunately.

With free-to-air games no longer restricted to Saturday Nights, the Sydney Derby is likely to be televised on Ten Network as per Marco Monteverde.

This FTA freedom is good and bad. Bad because Saturday night is the primetime fixture, as is Friday night. BUT it's also good as this might allow them to choose the match of the round each week to put on FTA.

Giving freedom of choice to pick the match of the round each week is also a double-edged sword though because they might pick a game which would hardly get viewership otherwise especially heading into the latter part of the season when it's clear that some teams will already be out of finals contention.

From a Brisbane fan point of view. This is brilliant.

We didn’t play one Saturday night game at home last year. Which obviously makes some sense given us and Perth are the only clubs without a “Marquee” fixture (Perth has the advantage of the Timezone but) so this now allows my club to play at their preferred timeslot without effecting the FTA game which has to involve a NSW side it seems by law.
