The Airport Toyota Premier Division fixture has been revealed for the 2026 EDFL season.
EDFL senior women's footy will return with Good Friday action on April 3, and Round 1 set for April 11!
See the full fixture and finals dates below.
Airport Toyota Premier Division will expand to its biggest ever competition with nine teams competing over 16 rounds.
Strathmore earned promotion to return to the top flight, Maribyrnong Park will remain with a stronger season forecast, and Caroline Springs will enter a senior team after competing in the EDFL Women's Reserves competition in 2025.
They will join Aberfeldie, Essendon Doutta Stars, Hillside, Keilor, Moonee Valley, and Oak Park, with Greenvale unfortunately not fielding a side in 2026.
The action kicks off on Good Friday with Strathmore taking on Keilor in a twilight contest, providing a bumper finish to what's set to be a big day at Lebanon Reserve.
Those two will have the following week off as Hillside unfurls its flag against Aberfeldie at Shark Park to continue the action, and 2025 grand finalist Oak Park hosts Maribyrnong Park.
Essendon Doutta Stars will commence its season against Moonee Valley at Nipper Jordan Oval, with the bye placing Caroline Springs' first game against Strathmore in Round 2.
There will be more Anzac Day action in Airport Toyota Premier Division with April 25 falling on the Saturday.
The grand final rematch between Hillside and Oak Park will come in Round 4 at Shark Park.
There's a big day in store at Shark Park in Round 5 with a men's and women's double header between Hillside and Essendon Doutta Stars.
Round 7 will see Strathmore host Essendon Doutta Stars under Friday night lights, as Oak Park and Moonee Valley will compete in Darcy's Round, a Red Nose fundraiser, playing after the men in a twilight battle.
A three-week finals series between the top four sides is set to commence on the weekend of August 15, with the grand final currently slated for the weekend of August 29.
