All 18 clubs are in preparation for the upcoming 2025 season as a pair of pre-season clashes before the season opener will give coaches a final chance to fine-tune their teams.

The pre-season matches will kick off with a marquee match, and the return of the Indigenous All Stars exhibition game on Saturday, February 15 at Optus Stadium, with Fremantle featuring.

Among the other 17 AFL clubs, the match simulation games will see the length of quarters and duration of the match determined by the participating sides.

In one of these matches, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Collingwood will square off in a three-way hitout, with each team facing the others for two quarters apiece.

The 2025 AAMI Community Series will then span from Tuesday, February 25 to Sunday, March 2 - giving fans just four days between the pre-season fixture finishing and the home and away season commencing.

Every match simulation session will be broadcast on Fox Footy, available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel. The rules and duration are up to the discretion of the clubs.

Some of the match simulations will also be live-streamed through club websites.

All AAMI Community Series matches are played under premiership rules - four 20-minute quarters plus time on - although there will be no interchange cap.

Every match of the AAMI Community Series will also be broadcast on Fox Footy, available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
