THE GAME Changers will kick off their 2022 season with a traditional blockbuster against Collingwood at IKON Park on Sunday 9 January at 4:10pm (AEDT).

This will be the fourth time in six years the arch-rivals will go head-to-head in Round 1 – a clash that typically generates an electric atmosphere.

This year’s instalment will be in an afternoon time-slot for the first time, allowing for families and kids to enjoy a Sunday afternoon at the home of women’s football.

Bluebaggers will be able to enjoy Saturday and Sunday afternoons at IKON Park throughout the 2022 AFLW season, as Stage 2 redevelopment works continue to be undertaken at the ground, inclusive of the new light towers.

The full fixture is due to be released tomorrow.
