Western Victoria Female Football League Announces 2026 Fixture Ahead of Big Season
The Western Victoria Female Football League is proud to announce the release of its 2026 fixture, setting the stage for what is shaping as an exciting season for female football across the region.
The WVFFL is delighted to welcome Branxholme Wallacedale into the competition for their inaugural season. Branxholme Wallacedale will field teams in both the Senior Women’s and Under 15 grades, marking an important milestone for the club and the continued expansion of female football in Western Victoria.
Further strengthening the competition, Terang Mortlake will increase their presence in the league with the introduction of a Senior Women’s team, adding depth and opportunity within their football program.
The 2026 season will also see Warrnambool boast a full complement of female teams, with Under 15 and Under 18 sides joining their existing Senior Women’s squad. In addition, both Port Fairy and Koroit will expand their programs by introducing Under 18 teams, further enhancing development pathways for young players.
From a competition perspective, the Senior Women’s fixture will consist of a 12-round home-and-away season. A highlight of the fixture will be a Hub Round at the Tyrendarra Recreation Reserve on Sunday, March 29, featuring three Senior Women’s matches in a showcase day for the competition.
The Under 18 competition will be played across a 10-round season, while the Under 15 competition will run over nine weeks, ensuring age-appropriate formats that support both participation and development.
Throughout the 2026 season, clubs fielding multiple teams will host double and triple-header match days, creating vibrant club environments and strengthening connections between junior and senior programs.
League Administrator Trent Hill says the WVFFL looks forward to an exciting and highly anticipated 2026 season
“One of the most pleasing aspects of the 2026 fixture is the increase in team numbers right across the competition,” Hill said.
“In particular, the Under 15 age group is a real highlight, with nine teams set to feature this season. That level of participation at the junior level is critical for the long-term health of female football and shows the strength of the pathways clubs are building across the region.”
