Season events

Andrew Dillon took over as CEO of the AFL from this season, commencing in October 2023. Dillon replaced Gillon McLachlan, who had served in the role since 2014.[22]

On 20 February 2024, goal umpire Jesse Baird was scheduled to officiate a practice match between Sydney and Greater Western Sydney, but did not arrive at the match. One day later, New South Wales Police alleged Baird and his partner, Luke Davies, were murdered.[23] Before the start of the Sydney and Melbourne match, both teams formed a minute silence in the middle of the field, along with the umpires, in honoring Jesse Baird.

In an effort to grow the game in the northern states, the season featured an "Opening Round" wherein two matches in Sydney, one in Brisbane and one on the Gold Coast were played, prior to round 1.[24] Following its successful first iteration in 2023,[25] Gather Round, a special round featuring all 18 clubs playing in the same region, will be held for the second time in South Australia;[26] it will be held in round 4, from 4 to 7 April.[27]

Home matches are in bold, neutral matches (Gather Round) are underlined and opponents are listed above the margins.
