Australian Football: A-League Match Betting at Betano
The A-League celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, and Australia’s biggest football league continues to grow. Broadcast domestically throughout Australia and in New Zealand, the league’s audience is increasing as more people become interested in its success at home.
Several high-profile Australian stars and foreign talents have excelled in the A-League, and significant investment in teams like Melbourne City FC and Sydney FC has further developed the league’s profile.
Betano is the home of football betting in the UK, and we offer extensive markets and great value odds for all A-League matches. Read on to learn how to bet on the A-League this campaign at Betano Sportsbook.
Introduction to the A-League: Teams & Format
The first A-League season kicked off in 2005-06, making Australia’s professional football league one of the newest additions to world football. The AFC confers the league, and 13 teams from Australia and New Zealand compete each season.
As well as the A-League, the teams compete in the Australia Cup, and the winners qualify each season for the AFC Champions League, Asia’s biggest domestic club competition.
The regular season occurs in the Australian summer between October and April. Every team plays 26 games – 12 home and 12 away – and additional “third” matches. Every team also has three byes.
At the end of the regular season, the top six teams progress to the finals. Newly established in 2023-24, there’s also a Unite Round, where all matches are held in Sydney (Allianz Arena and CommBank Stadium).
The A-League finals series runs over four weeks in a playoff format. It culminates in the Grand Final, with the winning team securing the A-League title. As in Major League Soccer in the United States, the A-League has no relegation or promotion system.
Below are the teams that currently compete in the A-League:
- Adelaide United
- Auckland FC
- Brisbane Roar
- Central Coast Mariners
- Macarthur FC
- Melbourne City
- Melbourne Victory
- Newcastle Jets
- Perth Glory
- Sydney FC
- Wellington Phoenix
- Western Sydney Wanderers
- Western United
The Most Successful Teams in A-League History
At the end of every A-League season, the regular season winner is awarded the title “Premier,” while the Grand Final winner is dubbed the “Champion.”
Sydney FC are the most successful team in A-League history, with five championship titles as of 2025. They also have four premiership titles, with nine crowns in total.
Second on the list is Melbourne Victory, with four championships and three premierships. Below is a list of all the A-League teams that have won at least two championships since the league’s inception:
Team | Number of Championships | Number of Premierships |
Sydney FC | 5 (2006, 2010, 2017, 2019, 2020) | 4 (2009-10, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2019-20) |
Melbourne Victory | 4 (2007, 2009, 2015, 2018) | 3 (2006-07, 2008-09, 2014-15) |
Central Coast Mariners | 3 (2013, 2023, 2024) | 3 (2007-08, 2011-12, 2023-23) |
Brisbane Roar | 3 (2011, 2012, 2014) | 2 (2010-11, 2013-14) |
Current champions Central Coast Mariners won their third premiership in the 2023-24 season and went on to win the championship for the second successive season.
The Best Players in the A-League 2025
Englishman Joe Lolley is one of the top players in the A-League right now. The former Nottingham Forest winger plays for Sydney FC and has 22 goals in 62 appearances for the team. He recently signed a two-year extension to extend his stay in the Australian capital.
Lolley’s teammate Douglas Costa is one of the most high-profile stars in the A-League after joining Sydney FC from Fluminense in 2024. The former Brazil international, with 31 caps for his country, played for Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Shakhtar Donetsk and was once considered one of the top wingers in the European game.
Young Australian forward Noah Botic is one of the most exciting young talents in the league after several impressive seasons for Western United. Australia capped him at under-17 and under-23 level, and if he enjoys another healthy goalscoring campaign this season, he will likely earn full honours for his national side.
