With the 2025 season only days away, let's take a look at what’s in store for the Perth Football League in the B & C Grades across Men and Women.

A new development is our Hudl Cameras, which are state-of-the-art AI cameras that will make filming games easier and more accessible. This will mean more games being viewed by the clubs upholding the integrity of the competition and improving coaching techniques.

We’ve also increased in numbers from the 2024 season, growing from 73 clubs to 75, with a slightly bigger jump in teams from 321 to a stunning 329.
