2024 VFL Women's season

2024 VFL Women's season
Date	22 March − 21 July
Teams	12

The 2024 VFL Women's season will be the eighth season of the VFL Women's (VFLW), the state level senior women's Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season will run from 22 March to 21 July, comprising a home-and-away season, followed by a finals series featuring the top six clubs.

The season will be contested by 12 clubs. It will also include matches against New South Wales AFL Women's teams Greater Western Sydney and Sydney; the New South Wales teams are not premiership eligible, but there will be premiership points available for the Victorian clubs in the matches.

Prior to the start of the season, there was speculation that Collingwood would affiliate with Williamstown for the 2024 VFLW season "as part of broader reviews from the AFL and the club into the direction of the VFLW". However, no affiliation agreement resulted from the reviews.
