NEWS:

2026/27 SEASON

The season is finally underway... All pre-season auctions are complete!

The AA-League's biggest season ever is in full swing. Eight divisions of online leagues, the two Pro-leagues (since 2018), and the Spartan private league.
THE CUP

There will be a record 90 teams in this year's FFFA Cup.

Round 1 Proper will begin on Boxing Day this season. It will involve 64 teams, followed rounds of 32, 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final on 19-21 March 2027.

To fit 90 teams into 64 Round 1 spots, there will be a PRELIMINARY ROUND played as a "hybrid" round, alongside AA-League round 7, from Friday 11th to Wednesday 16th December 2026. The 52 teams that will take part in this round will be the 52 LOWEST PLACED teams* AS AT the completion of AAL round#5 (Sunday 22nd Nov.). They will be randomly drawn against each other in time for the round.
(* 52 Lowest placed teams = All teams in Oz Superleague Divisions 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, plus the BOTTOM SIX teams in Division 2)

Note that ALL Cup rounds will be "hybrid" rounds, where your team will be playing a regular league match, AS WELL AS a Cup match (if your team is still alive). The only exception to this will be Boxing Day Round 1 Proper, which is a Cup-only round. Which unfortunately means that the 26 teams eliminated in the Cup Preliminary won't be playing at all over that round, but there's not much we can really do to avoid that....
Rule changes under review for next season: The managers have spoken: WE WANT MORE GOALS!!

There has been a lot of pressure over many years to bring more goals to the AA-League, without compromising the eleven-a-side nature of the game. We have been seriously looking at MANY options to achieve this, which is a surprisingly difficult challenge. The plan was to have something in place for this, the 2026/27 season. But due to the inherent difficulty, the auctions are over and the deadline has passed. But the future is promising, and we almost certainly WILL have a major rule change in place for 2027/28, which invloves MORE SUBS and MORE GOALS!
Stay tuned...
Also, a reminder - At the beginning of each season we will be removing teams who have not been active for an extended period. So, if you manage your team and get promoted, there's a good chance your team will rise quickly through the divisions. Just take a look at the rapid rise of these teams: Grizzly United, or Recruit !

Meanwhile, this season, as always, email us if you have any questions...
