What’s ahead for KDL and GVFL in 2025
THE 2025 season of football and netball in the Kyabram District League (KDL) and the Goulburn Valley Football League (GVFL) will kick off April 5, promising thrilling competition and unmissable highlights. With fixtures released, fans and players alike can start marking their calendars for an action-packed year of sport.
GVL Board Chair Jacqui Hudgson said, “After a successful season in 2024 and especially a great finals series, we are eagerly looking forward to the return of Football and Netball in 2025. It’s a big start to the season with two games scheduled on Good Friday which is Round 3 and immediately followed one game scheduled on ANZAC Day in Round 4.
“Having the Easter holiday period followed by the ANZAC Day holiday in consecutive weeks really provided the opportunity for some clubs to take advantage of the fans attending on the public holidays” Hudgson said.


KDL President Peter Cordy said, “2024 was a fantastic season for the League. The competition throughout the League for both football and netball were exciting, culminating in a fantastic Grand Final Day.
“Moving into 2025, the League sees a change to the fixtures with Dookie United no longer a member of the KDL there are now 13 clubs. The home and away season will be 18 rounds, with teams playing 16 games 8 home and 8 away with 2 byes. This will be followed by a four-week Finals Series.”
KDL’s 2025 season will continue to see each club in the KDL play one home Sunday game and one away Sunday game to help ensure umpires are able to be appointed to all senior football games. The Finals series is set to commence on August 23 with the Grand Final scheduled for September 13 to be held at Mooroopna FNC again after a successful 2024.
GVL also confirmed the Interleague battle against the Ovens & Murray League will continue, taking place on May 24.
