Round three starts with one game scheduled on Friday, continues with two fixtures on Saturday and ends with one match on Sunday.  Two of the games are double headers with the home side's men's teams.

A-League Women Round Three

  • Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory both undefeated entering Round 3.
  • Western Sydney, Wellington Phoenix and Brisbane Roar looking for first win.
  • Perth Glory and Canberra United match postponed due to border restrictions.

A review of last round's A-League action can be found on The Women's Game.

Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory enter the round with a perfect record.  Sydney will be facing a young Wellington Phoenix who were beaten 5-1 last week by Newcastle Jets.  The positive in the game for the Kiwi side was Ava Pritchard scoring Wellington's first ever A-League Women's goal.

Melbourne Victory are playing away at Brisbane Roar.  Despite the men's Brisbane match being postponed, the women's side will play at Moreton Daily Stadium as scheduled. 

Newcastle Jets will be without one of their players who has tested positive for COVID-19 after contracting the virus at her non-football place of work.  Their match against Western Sydney is still scheduled to proceed.

The fifth Round 3 game between Perth Glory and Canberra United match was postponed due to border restrictions.
