On October 19, 2022, the AFL announced that the draft would be a once-off overage national draft, to be held on Tuesday, 4 April, 2023.[1] This was a stop-gap measure due to the shortened seasons between season 7 and the 2023 season, and there being no underage competition between the last draft in June 2022 and this one. Only players aged over 19 were eligible to be drafted.[1]
