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]
