It's a compromised draw with the 11 clubs each playing 13 home and 13 away matches, some clubs play each other three times and others twice. So, for example, Western United play Melbourne Victory three times and Melbourne City twice.2019/20 fxture:

The word I've heard is Canberra and Brisbane 2 are the next 2 lined up and ready to go.
They turfed Canberra out of the most recent process early - I think there were 10 bids, which they shortened to 6, and Canberra were among those first 4 turfed out. (Actually, Brisbane Strikers might've been turfed out at that stage too?) I don't know that Canberra is a market that the game particularly cares about.
Canberra was in the last group and the only reason they missed was fox wanted a 3rd Syd and Mel team.
People bag the AFL and NRL but damn do their social media kill it.
Yeah, it's insane. We had Raul Baena do a little series on Melbourne last year and the fans went nuts for it, was literally a couple of two minute videos. I mean all they have to do is basically rip off what Premier League clubs are doing and put an Aussie flavour to it, don't even have to be that creative.
Hell do what the AFL and NRL clubs do and make it about football. Simple.
Honestly, Nix have all of those which is why we're constantly the most actively watched soccer channel in Australasia, and we post pretty much a couple of times every day on social media. Up to 4.5k subscribers on YouTube, which is second most subs behind Victory (as per usual).
More Simpsons quotes pls.
You sometimes see me comenting on their posts haha
Yeah I agree. Clubs need to get in on it more, it relates to the fans more and gives the admins a more personable look.
More midweek games or less home and away matches?
Melbourne derby set to electrify A-League Round 1, with Marvel Stadium set for reconfiguration
An electric Melbourne derby will headline the opening round of the A-League season, with Marvel Stadium’s grandstands to be brought in for the first time in two years.
Melbourne Victory fans will be closer to the action this season, with the Docklands venue’s stands coming in for four of their five home fixtures.
Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City will lock horns with new coaches and new-look squads for their Round 1 clash, with several more derbies set to follow in ensuing weeks with the arrival of a third Victorian club.
Western United will wait until Round 2 to play its first home game at Kardinia Park, after a potentially spicy opening weekend trip to Wellington Phoenix.
United pinched coach Mark Rudan, captain Andrew Durante, A-League goalkeeper of the year Fiip Kurto and rookie sensation Max Burgess from the Kiwis.
Melbourne City host Adelaide United in their opening home game of the season at AAMI Park.
The A-League fixture is due to be released early next week, as venues are signed off and negotiations continue with Fox Sports and potential Free-to-Air partners.
It comes as the A-League prepares to officially become independent on Thursday, in a huge development for the local game.

FFA chiefs refused to comment when contacted about the fixture, with Round 1 due to kick off on October 11, after the AFL and NRL grand finals.
The grand final is set down for May 17, in a season where the A-League will play through FIFA breaks as byes return for the first time since 2010-11.
Western Sydney will feature in a prime time Saturday slot several times in their return to Parramatta Stadium (Bankwest Stadium), which was rocking for the Wanderers’ friendly with Leeds United last week.
Victory fans by enlarge prefer AAMI Park, but the move to reconfigure Marvel Stadium should go down well with the club’s growing fanbase.
The last time the terraces were brought in was Victory’s 2017-18 Round 10 clash with Adelaide United — the Star Wars round.
A-League chiefs are kicking off the season with a bang, with a Sydney derby featuring in the opening rounds of the season.

Seats in at Marvel
Round one derby
Victory should've stopped playing at Docklands years ago. Part of why I stopped getting a membership is refusing to watch games there. Crowds don't warrant an AFL oval. Transparent greed from the club owners at the spectators expense.
I agree, But with the seats in (like they are gonna be) it’s not to bad. That “Transparent greed“ has and still make the club a shitload of money. To me it’s good business not greed.
