=== Fixtures and results ===


===AFC Champions League qualification===
Due to the re-formatting of the [[AFC Champions League]] to have an inter-year schedule from September (northern hemisphere autumn-to-spring) instead of an intra-year schedule (northern hemisphere spring-to-autumn), the qualification for the [[2023–24 AFC Champions League]] was changed. The single qualification spot for this competition goes to whichever of the Premiers for the current season or the [[2021–22 A-League Men|previous season]] accrues the most combined points over both seasons.



===Melbourne Derby pitch invasion===

During the [[Melbourne Derby (A-League Men)|Melbourne Derby]] between [[Melbourne City FC]] and [[Melbourne Victory FC]] on 17 December 2022 at the [[Melbourne Rectangular Stadium]], the match was abandoned in the 22nd minute after several incidents of [[Football hooliganism|hooliganism]] took place both on and off the field. Throughout the match, supporters of both teams both ignited and threw [[flare]]s.

In the 20th minute, the match was interrupted due to flares being ignited and thrown onto the pitch, two of which had been thrown by Melbourne Victory supporters. Conflict arose when Melbourne City goalkeeper [[Tom Glover (soccer)|Tom Glover]], who was defending the goal in front of the Melbourne Victory supporters end, picked up and threw the flares away from the pitch, the second of which was thrown into the crowd of Victory supporters. This sparked a [[pitch invasion]] by between 100–200 spectators, who proceeded to attack Glover and match referee [[Alex King (referee)|Alex King]], both of whom sustained minor injuries. The match was abandoned as a result.

On 23 December, [[Football Australia]] handed down interim sanctions on both clubs while a full investigation was being conducted. Both teams had their active supporter bays closed, with Melbourne Victory further sanctioned with supporter restrictions: travelling support was banned for away games, while home games were restricted to only valid club members.

The match was resumed on 5 April 2023 from the 21st minute, with the score resuming at 1–0 to Melbourne City.

==Finals series==
===Format===
The finals series was held in broadly the same format as the previous year, to be run over three weeks, and involving the top six teams from the regular season. In the first week of fixtures, the third-through-sixth ranked teams played a single-elimination match, with the two winners of those matches joining the first and second ranked teams in two-legged semi-final ties. The two winners of those matches met in the Grand Final.

On 12 December 2022, the [[Australian Professional Leagues|APL]] announced that the 2023 A-League Men Grand Final would be the first of three successive Grand Finals hosted in [[Sydney]], regardless of which two teams earned the right to play in the final. The move received a large amount of backlash from supporters of all 12 clubs.
