THE CARLTON VFL and VFLW fixtures have been released today by the AFL.
The AFL has today confirmed the fixture for the first 13 VFL rounds, with Carlton fans getting six opportunities in the first 13 rounds to watch the VFL Blues play at IKON Park.
The Blues will kick off the season on Friday 21 of March, in a standalone opening match under IKON Park lights against Box Hill, in what will be the first clash between the two teams since Round 2, 2022.
After a bye in Round 2, the Blues will host Southport in Round 3 prior to the state-wide bye, with the VFL and SANFL representative sides to once again play during the AFL’s Gather Round.
Bluebaggers can get ready for an action-packed Good Friday, with a triple header featuring all three sides.
Our VFLW first feature in the season opener against North Melbourne at Arden Street (9:15am) before the VFL side plays straight after at 12:05pm. The AFL team then finish off the day with the SuperClash at Marvel Stadium kicking off at 3:20pm.
The Carlton Reserves then hosts Geelong in the third home game of the season before taking the trip down Sydney Road to take on Coburg at Piranha Park.
Heading interstate in Round 8, Carlton will get a shot on the big stage at the SCG in a double-header against Sydney.
A home game against Williamstown precedes the mid-season bye, before the Blues then head to Windy Hill to take on the Bombers just a few hours before the King’s Birthday Eve game.
The Carlton Reserves will then take on the Northern Bullants in Round 12 before returning to IKON Park to host North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon.
