The fixture release includes the full schedule for Rounds 1-14 of the 2023 Smithy’s VFL season, along with match ups and venues for the remaining eight rounds.

The Lions VFL side will also play a curtain raiser in Round 2 (Round 3 AFL) at Marvel Stadium, facing off against the Footscray Bulldogs before Josh Dunkley faces off against his former side that night.
