# 2025 WAFL season

The 2025 WAFL season is the 141st season of the various incarnations of the West Australian Football League (WAFL). The season will commence on 5 April and conclude with the grand final on 21 September.

## Background
### Naming rights and fixture

The league announced a new naming rights sponsor ahead of the season, the first such sponsor since 2021, with overnight freight transportation company Sullivan Logisitics becoming the league's primary sponsor. The league's fixture included 20 home-and-away rounds followed by a four-week finals series, culminating in the grand final at Optus Stadium. Saturday night fixtures broadcast on free-to-air television station Seven became regularly scheduled, in recognition of the AFL's new broadcast deal which placed all Saturday matches on pay-TV.
In February, the Fremantle and Peel Thunder Football Club's announced the two sides would continue with their 11-year long reserves affiliation, which enables Fremantle-lised players not selected for the club's senior AFL team to play for Peel in the WAFL. Under the arrangement, Fremantle appoint Peel's senior WAFL team coach in consultation with Peel, while Peel will continue to appoint the Colts, Reserves and Assistant WAFL coaches, in consultation with Fremantle. The extension of the partnership is in effect to the end of the 2029 season.
