The AFL grand final will return to the last Saturday in September next year, while a three-week bye period will also be factored into the 2012 fixture.

The expanded 18-team competition featuring Greater Western Sydney will have a 23-round season in 2012, with three multi-bye rounds of six games in rounds 11, 12, and 13.

Six teams will have a bye in each of those rounds.

The grand final will be played on September 29 at the MCG.

The AFL says it will release next year's full fixtures on October 28.
