In September 2022, the AFL announced a seven-year, $4.5 billion broadcast rights deal with theSeven Network,Foxtel andTelstra, the biggest sports broadcast rights deal in Australian history, effective from the 2025 season.[1] Key points of the deal included:
Ahead of the season's fixture release in November, the AFL further elaborated that the home-and-away season would feature Thursday night matches in 23 of the 25 rounds, with each of the first 16 rounds plus seven other rounds – as part of a floating fixture to be determined later in the season – having matches scheduled on Thursday nights.[3] The following day, the AFL announced the addition on Sunday night matches as a semi-regular fixture in 2025, with nine of the first 16 rounds featuring a Sunday night match.[6] In the same month,Adelaide[7] andSt Kilda unveiled new club logos,[8] whileGold Coast unveiled a new logo and playing guernseys as part of a rebrand of the club.[9] A match between theIndigenous All-Stars andFremantle took place atOptus Stadium in February 2025,[10] marking the first Indigenous All-Stars match since 2015.[11]

The season began with Opening Round,[42] an initiative introduced in 2024, in which the New South Wales and Queensland clubs (Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast,Greater Western Sydney andSydney) contest matches against four Victorian clubs (Geelong,Essendon,Collingwood andHawthorn, respectively, in 2025) to open the season; the eight clubs involved would then have a bye before round 5 so that all clubs would have played the same number of matches leading intoGather Round.[43] In the two Queensland matches, the Brisbane Lions were to host Geelong and unfurl their 2024 premiership flag on 6 March to open the season,[44] and Gold Coast was to host Essendon on 8 March; however, on 4 March the decision was made to postpone both matches due to the projected impact ofCyclone Alfred, which was forecast to make landfall in Brisbane later that week.[45] The matches were rescheduled for rounds 3 and 24, respectively.[46]
TheWestern Bulldogs hosted a match against Collingwood at theMelbourne Cricket Ground in round 2,[47] their first home match at the venue since 2009, to celebrate the centenary of their entry into the VFL/AFL;[48] to celebrate the occasion, the club reverted to its former name, Footscray, for the round.[49] In round 5, Gather Round, which was played in South Australia for the third consecutive year, featured matches in theBarossa Valley region for the first time, with two matches played at Barossa Park, a new $40 million recreational facility inLyndoch, along with two matches atNorwood Oval and the other five atAdelaide Oval, including two separately ticketed matches on the Saturday.[50] Hawthorn also hosted a match to celebrate its 100-year anniversary in the VFL/AFL, againstRichmond in round 8.[51]
In round 11, duringSir Doug Nicholls Round, theDreamtime at the 'G match between Essendon and Richmond was moved to the Friday night primetime slot for the first time, having traditionally been held on a Saturday night during the round;[52] two separately ticketed matches were held back-to-back the following day atMarvel Stadium, featuring several Sir Doug Nicholls Round activities in the Docklands precinct throughout the day.[6]North Melbourne commenced a new arrangement to play two of its home matches each season in Western Australia from 2025 to 2027 – each against one of the two Western Australian clubs, Fremantle andWest Coast, with one match played atHands Oval, Bunbury, and the other at Optus Stadium[53] – as part of a deal with the AFL,Tourism Western Australia and the Western Australian government to provide financial security to the club, and as part of its strategy to exit its existing deal to play home matches in Hobart, where it had played at least two per season since 2012; in 2025, the club played its Western Australian home matches consecutively, in rounds 13 and 14, and two matches in Hobart as part of the final year of the club's deal with the state.[53]
From round 16 onwards, the start times for Sunday afternoon matches televised by the Seven Network were moved forward by five minutes to avoid prolonged matches stretching past 6:00 pmAEST and delaying the network'sflagship Melbourne news bulletin which follows immediately after.[54]

The following table can be sorted from biggest winning margin to biggest losing margin for each round. If multiple matches in a round are decided by the same margin, these margins are sorted by percentage (i.e. the lowest-scoring winning team is ranked highest and the lowest-scoring losing team is ranked lowest). Home matches are in bold, neutral matches (Gather Round) are underlined, postponed matches are italicised and opponents are listed above the margins.
