Werribee and Williamstown’s run home in the Victorian Football League has been revealed.

The AFL on Thursday announced the dates and times for rounds 15 to 22 of the VFL season and the final round of the VFLW season.

The VFL home and away season consists of 22 rounds, with each of the 21 teams to play 18 matches and have four byes.

Werribee has four games at home on the run home, against Sandringham, the Northern Bullants, Frankston and Collingwood, with the latter a broadcast game.

Williamstown has home games against the Southport Sharks, Essendon and Richmond. The match against Essendon will be held under lights at DSV Stadium on Friday, July 21.

Both sides that are currently in the top eight, also have a bye in the run home.

For the first time, the VFL season will feature a wildcard round, which will be played across the weekend of August 26-27, following the final round of the home and away season.

The wildcard round will feature two matches – seven against 10 and eight versus nine, with the two winners to advance to finals.

In the VFLW, Williamstown will host the Geelong Cats in the final round of the season. The Seagulls remain in the finals mix, in what is a tight competition.

The top-six teams on the ladder at the conclusion of the home and away season will qualify for finals.

The finals format will remain unchanged from 2022, with the finals series to be played across four weeks, commencing the weekend of July 8-9.

The grand final is scheduled for July 30.
