2026 NPL WA Men's Night Series fixtures

Top-flight newcomers Dianella White Eagles begin their NPL WA Men's Night Series campaign with a game against Perth Glory Academy at Alfred Skeet Reserve. 

The match kicks off the annual pre-season competition which has a new format for 2026.

Teams next year will be split into three groups of four, with each side playing three group matches. Group winners and the best runner-up will advance to the semi-finals.

The three groups are:

Group A
Armadale, Bayswater City, Fremantle City, Perth RedStar

Group B
Dianella White Eagles, Perth Azzurri, Perth Glory, Western Knights

Group C
Balcatta Etna, Olympic Kingsway, Sorrento FC, Stirling Macedonia

Round One starts on the Australia Day weekend of 23-25 January. The semis are at Dorrien Gardens on 14 February and the final and third-place game at Macedonia Park on 21 February.

At Alfred Skeet, the Dianella-Glory clash will be followed by hosts Armadale taking on Perth RedStar.

On the same night at Frank Drago Reserve, the renamed Perth Azzurri face Western Knights while league champions and host club Bayswater City meet Fremantle City.

Then on Saturday, Night Series holders Sorrento FC start their defence at their Percy Doyle Reserve home against Balcatta Etna, followed by a repeat of last year’s State Cup final as Olympic Kingsway take on Stirling Macedonia.
