The Australian Professional Leagues have announced changes to the A-League Women's game schedule to prioritize player safety during the hot summer months. Starting from December to March, there will be no 3 p.m. games, with most matches kicking off at 5 p.m. or later.
The decision to push back game times is part of the league's heat policy, aiming to shield players from extreme heat conditions. By playing later in the day, the league hopes to safeguard the well-being of players, staff, and spectators, while also enhancing the quality of play and reducing fixture changes.
