Richmond fans will benefit from an early run of Victorian games as part of the AFLW Season 7 fixture released today.
The Tigers will kick off their season with an away clash down the highway against the Cats on August 28, the venue of the Club’s historic first win in 2021.
Richmond has then been fixtured four matches at the Swinburne Centre in the next five rounds, as well as away clash against Essendon at Port Melbourne’s ETU Stadium.
The Bombers (Round 4) are one of two new expansion teams the Tigers will face this season, along with Hawthorn (Round 3). The match against Essendon will be held during the competition's Indigenous round as the first-ever AFLW Dreamtime clash.
Richmond will also play reigning premiers Adelaide in Round 2, the first time the two sides have clashed in their AFLW history.
Rounds 6 and 7 will see Richmond against fellow 2020 competition entrants Gold Coast and West Coast, with the Eagles, clash fixtured at Mineral Resources Park in Perth.
Round 8 will see the Tigers take on Carlton in the AFLW's annual Pride Round.
The Club will host GWS GIANTS in a home match in Mildura on October 23, building on an already rich history in the Sunraysia region.
Mildura has produced some of Richmond’s best players, including Dale Weightman, Matthew Knights, Mark Lee, and Courtney Wakefield.
Off the field, the Sunraysia region also holds great significance to the Club with Aligned Leisure and Richmond Institute businesses operating as part of the community and the Korin Gamadji Institute’s REAL Healthy Program engaging Indigenous youth in the area.
