Within each conference, the teams will play each other twice over 10 rounds (four home, four away, eight total matches and two byes per team).



The Foxtel Y-League 2019/20 Season will commence on the weekend of 16/17 November 2019, with the top team from each conference to meet in the Foxtel Y-League 2020 Grand Final on the weekend of the 1/2 February 2020.

“Since the inception of the competition in 2008 we have seen players progress from the Foxtel Y-League to the Hyundai A-League and to the Caltex Socceroos, most notably Rhyan Grant, Daniel Arzani, Awer Mabil and Mat Ryan.

“With almost all of the Foxtel Y-League teams playing in their local NPL competitions during the winter, our top youth players are playing over 30 matches a year which provides the best conditions for them to develop to an elite, professional level.

“We are also in the final stages of our strategy development for season 2020/21 which will deliver an even greater focus on youth development and opportunity”



“I wish all clubs the very best for the Foxtel Y-League season ahead,” concluded O’Rourke.
