Western United's inclusion this year means that there will be a bye week for all of the teams as a result of having 11 clubs in the competition. Newcastle Jets will have the first bye of the season, getting their campaign underway in Round 2 away to the Central Coast Mariners.
Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler faces a difficult start with Brisbane Roar and will contest his first A-League game away against Perth Glory before welcoming Melbourne Victory to Suncorp Stadium.
Champions Sydney FC will begin the defence of their title away to Adelaide United in the season opener on Friday, October 11th at Coopers Stadium which signals a change to the kick-off times of Friday night fixtures.
Games will now switch back to 7.30pm kick-offs on Friday nights rather than the later 7.50pm times of last season.
Other opening round fixtures of note include the Melbourne derby at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, October 12th.
We will have to wait until Round 7 to see a repeat of last season's Grand Final as Sydney FC make their way across the country to take on Perth Glory.
