down to 12 teams, 22 games a season, bye bye to two home derby matches this season.
My understanding is A-League Men needs to have 26 matches to meet AFC requirements, so it will most likely mean going from two three-peats to four.
I thought the Asian Confederation had gotten rid of the 27 game rule (26 league matches + 1 Aus Cup match) but I can't find anything to back that up so maybe I'm dreaming.

Either way they'll have commitments to the broadcaster that will require them to keep it at 26 league matches each
