The season was contested by 12 clubs. It also included matches against New South Wales AFL Women's teams and ; the New South Wales teams were not premiership eligible, but there were premiership points available for the Victorian clubs in the matches. The NSW clubs each played five matches featuring many of their AFL Women's contracted players, with the two clubs using the VFLW competition to gain experience ahead of the 2024 AFL Women's season which began in August. The presence of the NSW clubs playing their AFLW-listed players differed from the Victorian clubs who chose not to play their AFLW-listed players in their VFLW programs citing the risk of injury.
