After trying to speed up the playoffs, new rules and regulations from the Australian states led to the cancellation of the 2020 AFL Women's season.
In a press conference Gillon McLachlan revealed that the comprehensive shutdown of Victoria and New South Wales, along with other restrictions states were now putting into place, made the twin conference structure of the league playoffs impossible to maintain.
Discussion did occur about awarding a minor premier based off of the regular season performances, but ultimately they decided to cancel the season and let the focus be on the global pandemic instead.
The Women's Australian Football League joins the XFL and MLR at fully cancelling their season.
Meanwhile the main Australian Football League will have additional games delayed until at least May 31.
