Australia. A League: A-League Men ahead of every round
Australia. A League is the A-League Men, the men's competition run by the Australian Professional Leagues. Twelve clubs take part in 2026-27: ten from Australia alongside Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix from New Zealand. The campaign opened on 16 October 2026 and closes with the Grand Final on the first weekend of June 2027.
Two titles, nobody goes down
Every club plays 26 regular-season matches: a complete home-and-away schedule of 22 plus four extra fixtures, which adds up to 156 matches across 28 matchweeks. Relegation does not exist here, and neither does promotion. First place in the regular season earns the Premiers' Plate; the club that lifts the Grand Final is the Champion, so one season hands out two separate honours.

The line sets out Australia. A League round by round: for each fixture, the time, the matchday and three base prices, W1, draw and W2. Opening the fixture reveals double chance, the 1X2 + Each Team To Score combinations and a search-by-market field.
