2025 Hostplus SANFLW Development League kicks off on SANFL Now

By ZAC MILBANK

Start times for Round 1 of the 2025 Hostplus SANFLW Development League have been brought forward to avoid the heat on Saturday.

All four season-opening matches have been moved from a 10.30am start to a 9am bounce amid the forecast of 38C.

The action is sure to be hot throughout the entire Hostplus SANFLW Development League season, which will be played across seven minor rounds before culminating in the Grand Final on the Anzac Day weekend.

The top two teams at the end of the minor round will face off in the title-decider, with South Adelaide seeking to win its third Development League crown in succession.

For the first time, all Hostplus SANFLW Development League matches will be screened via SANFL Now, to subscribe, click here
