The cards are marked for an unmissable start to the home campaign, with the Boys in Blue fighting to retain local bragging rights after two wins last term. 

There is no place like home, so be part of a special welcome for the new A-League Men’s Head Coach, Giovanni Savarese, and get behind Victory’s off-season arrivals as they look to write a winning chapter in derby history.

The Big Blue 

Matchweek 14: A-League Men’s v Sydney FC, Tuesday, January 26, kick-off 5:00pm 2027, AAMI Park 

This summer staple, a stone’s throw from the Australian Open tennis, is a straight ace every single time. An interstate rivalry that has rallied back and forth since the A-League was born. 

Last January’s AAMI Park showdown was a Grand Slam for Victory, and the Boys in Blue are ready to serve up another memorable performance. 

U-NITE Multicultural Round 

Matchweek 17: A-League Men’s v Western Sydney Wanderers, Sunday, February 14 2027, kick-off 5:00pm AEDT, AAMI Park 

An annual fixture since 2014, celebrating the wonderful contribution and passions of multicultural Victoria, the Club will unite communities and bring together people from across the state. 

Warm up for the match in a special Multicultural Village, featuring live performances and interactive experiences, along with food and drink choices to whet the appetite for a mouthwatering match against Western Sydney Wanderers. 

Grassroots Round 

Matchweek 19: A-League Men’s v Macarthur FC, Saturday, February 27 2027, kick-off 7:40pm AEDT

Female Football Round 

Matchweek 18: A-League Women’s v Canberra United, Sunday, March 14 2027, kick-off 3:00pm AEDT, Home of the Matildas 

Back for a second season, Victory will be celebrating the incredible women, the pioneering inspirations, who have shaped the world’s game at every level, breaking down barriers and redefining what is possible. 

This Ninja A-League Women’s fixture will feature a small-sided tournament, pre-match forum, and a host of unique activities for new, returning and regular matchgoers.  

Member Recognition Round

What better occasion to recognise Victory’s ALM and ALW members for another season of unwavering, passionate support than the Big Blue, when Victorian-New South Wales rivalries stir up feelings of pride like little else.  

Members, as is annual tradition, will be taken behind the curtain of the match day courtesy of priceless experiences, have the chance to win exclusive prizes and take part in special activations, all whilst benefiting from member-only rewards. 

The Original Rivalry 

Matchweek 25: A-League Men’s v Adelaide United, Saturday, April 17 2027, kick-off 7:40pm AEST, AAMI Park 

Clashes versus South Australia are synonymous with what it means to be Victorian, and when Victory butt heads with Adelaide, it tends to go up a notch. 

So, 20 years on from hitting them for six in the Grand Final, powered by Archie Thompson’s five goals, this round will celebrate a landmark chapter in the Club’s history. Expect match day to be served with a retro feel, soaked in a warm tinge of nostalgia.
