Greg O'Rourke has confirmed via SMH the next A-League season will have 26 games but be stretched over 29 weeks due to the byes required as a result of having 11 teams.

The season will be 143 games, so I assume there will be a round with 3 games in it around ACL time.
See, they should have allowed 2 teams in at a time and saved themselves a whole lot of headaches. Too simple I guess.
