2023–24 A-League Men

The 2023–24 A-League Men, known as the Isuzu UTE A-League for sponsorship reasons, was the 47th season of national level men's soccer in Australia, and the 19th since the establishment of the competition as the A-League in 2004. This season is expected to be the last as a 12 team competition, with expansion to 14 teams from 2024–25 with the inclusion of Auckland FC and another club yet to be confirmed.

Finals series

edit

The finals series will be held in mostly the same format as the previous year, run over four weeks, involving the top six teams from the regular season. In the first week of fixtures, the third-through-sixth ranked teams will each play an elimination match, with the two winners of those matches joining the first and second ranked teams in two-legged semi-final ties. The two winners of those matches will meet in the Grand Final.[67] The previous format, which saw Sydney hosting the Grand Final until the 2024–25 season, was overturned in October 2023, reverting back to the higher-ranked semi-final winner hosting the match.[68]
