Sydney FC Members can look forward to a feast of football over the next nine months with the release of the A-Leagues Men’s and Women’s 2025-26 fixtures – delivering one of the most exciting home schedules in recent memory.
The Sky Blues will feature in a host of blockbusters across both competitions, including two huge Men’s home games against fierce rivals Melbourne Victory; and Christmas and Anzac Day weekend home clashes with Premiers Auckland FC.
A Sydney Derby double header at Allianz Stadium in the January school holidays is another big day to look forward to, plus two crucial Women’s games against rivals Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory to begin and end the season at Leichhardt Oval.
MEN’S SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
Sydney FC’s home campaign kicks off in style with a classic clash against Central Coast Mariners at Leichhardt Oval – a match that will also mark the return of former Sky Blue goalkeeper – aka ‘the Grey Wiggle’ – Andrew Redmayne.
The match comes after an away fixture to Adelaide United to open the campaign on Friday, October 17th.
The Men will play three of their first four home rounds at Leichhardt Oval, with a fourth game against Victory to be confirmed:
- A round four Leichhardt Oval clash against Macarthur FC.
- A first encounter with Melbourne Victory on November 22nd at a home venue TBC.
- A festive-season blockbuster against Auckland FC back at Leichhardt Oval.
From January onwards, the Sky Blues return to their traditional home at Allianz Stadium, where they will host nine huge games – including a post-Anzac Day, Sunday afternoon clash against Auckland FC, plus further high-profile battles as they look to cement their finals push.
Men’s Head Coach Ufuk Talay said: “This fixture list has given us some incredible games to look forward to.
“Playing Victory and Auckland at home, plus three derbies, will be fantastic for our Members and fans.
“We’re ready to embrace the challenge and bring entertaining football every week.”
Captain Rhyan Grant added: “You can’t beat the atmosphere of a Sydney Derby or a clash with Melbourne Victory.
“To have so many big games lined up is brilliant – we’ll be giving everything to make this a season to remember.”
