The 2022 Victorian Football League season will be the 140th season of the Victorian Football Association/Victorian Football League, a second-tier Australian rules football competition played in the states of Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. The season will commence on 25 March and conclude with the Grand Final on 18 September.[1]

League membership[]

Following its sole season in the VFL, the Brisbane-based Aspley Football Club withdrew from the competition, after reviewing its strategy as a football club and electing to focus on its QAFL and QFA teams and junior pathways without the burden of competing in the state level competition. The club departed with the shortest tenure of any VFA/VFL club in history, playing only ten games in the pandemic-interrupted 2021 season.[2]

Aspley's departure left Southport as the league's sole stand-alone senior club based outside Victoria. A total of 21 clubs held licences to compete in the 2022 season.[3]
