BFLW Begins Now


The McDonald’s Ballarat FNL is excited to kick off the 2021 McDelivery BFLW season this Sunday the 2nd of May.


A new era of female football returns to the Ballarat FNL with matches across 4 grades of competition.

2021 will stage a 12-round season, with the grand final for all female football to be played at Ballarat’s premier venue, Mars Stadium, on Saturday the 4th of September.

In partnership with the City of Ballarat and their Active Women & Girls Strategy, the Ballarat FNL will look to build the brand of the BFLW and the opportunities for female participation within the league and across the region.

The League is also pleased to announce that McDelivery has come on as naming rights partner of the BFLW competition, strengthening the support from McDonald’s Ballarat across the Ballarat FNL.

Where possible, fixtures have been scheduled to allow the participation of players in both BFLW games and across the BFNL netball competitions. The league will also be looking to maximise the number of games across Ballarat’s premier grounds.

Further features of the 2021 BFLW season include:

  • Under 16 & Under 18 interleague against Bendigo as part of the Goldfields Trophy in June.
  • Competition breaks will take place for Queens Birthday, middle week of school holidays and a league-wide bye in July to assist in evening up games for clubs.
