The Geelong Football Club will be involved in a pair of historic double-header clashes in August, with both the Cats AFL and AFLW teams set to feature in matches on the same day at the same venue. 

It will give Cats fans the opportunity to see both their Men's and Women's teams in action, with the club's Melbourne and Geelong supporters set to benefit from the fixture announcement. 

The first double-header will take place on August 15, with the AFLW Cats set to take on the reigning premiers, North Melbourne, in their season opener at Marvel Stadium, the first AFLW game at the venue since 2022.
