## Overview

[edit]

### Pre-season

[edit]

Auckland City began their preseason fixtures with a 2–2 draw against Eastern Suburbs at the Croatian Cultural Club.[1][2]

### Northern League

[edit]

The league fixtures were announced on 28 February 2025.[3] City played the season opener against Tauranga City,[4][5] and finish the season home to East Coast Bays.[6]

Auckland City's round four fixture with Western Springs was originally scheduled for 14 May 2025 due to the Navy Blue's participation in the OFC Champions League.[3][6] On 9 April, City announced the fixture had been moved back to the original match week on 12 April 2025 due to Auckland City's increased fixture congestion. This meant City would be playing two games on the same day with them playing the OFC Champions League final on the same day.
