The Unofficial A-League Men Championship has changed hands 3 times in a #MelbDerby, Victory lost to City in the 2014/15 & 2018/19 seasons, but City handed the title to the Victory during the 2022/23 season. Will we see a fourth Derby changeover this weekend? #MVCvMCY #ALeague

SCENARIOS Looking ahead, this is how the unofficial title could travel in the weeks ahead. The chances for a #MelbDerby title deciding game are pretty high! #ALeague #ALM

NEXT MATCH The next Unofficial A-League Men Championship matchday is Sat 25 October, where champions Melbourne City will host Perth Glory. City are aiming for their 4th game in a row as champs whilst the Glory are looking for their first title since 2022. #ALM #ALeague #MCYvPER

This week, a chance for #PerthGlory to become unofficial champions for the first time since Feb 2, 2022, when they lost to WSW 1-0. It’s been 1,356 days since then, the longest streak of any active club. #ALeague #ALM

RETAINED #MelbourneCity are still Unofficial Champions of the A-League Men’s, after holding the Wanderers to a 1-1 draw. They’ll defend their title next week at home against Perth Glory

UCALM MATCHDAY 📆 5pm @ Sat 18 Oct 🏟️ CommBank Stadium ⚽️ #WSWvMCY Melbourne City have held the title for 2 games, since May 16th, whilst Western Sydney Wanderers are looking for their first title since December 10th, 2023.

LONG TIME WAITING: #PerthGlory have the longest active drought of the current #ALM teams, it’s been 1353 days since they last were Unofficial Champions, back in Feb 2022. North Queensland Fury have the longest drought of all teams, their last win came in Aug 2010 (5529 days ago)

NZ HISTORY: New Zealand Knights are the only club to never have the honour of being Unofficial A-League Men Champions. Their #AucklandFC namesakes have held it twice in half the amount of time. #WellingtonPhoenix by far are the NZ’s best representation, with 11 titles. #ALeague

SHORTEST TITLE HOLDERS: 3 teams have held the title for only 3 days. #NewcastleJets were the first to do it, in December 2010. It took 12 years for the feat to be replicated, with #PerthGlory in January 2021. #WSW were the most recent team to do so, in February 2022. #ALeague

LONGEST TITLE HOLDERS: #SydneyFC held the title of Unofficial A-League Men Champion the longest. After defeating Perth Glory 4-0 on 10 April 2016, the Sky Blues held the title for 314 days (20 ALM games), until they lost to the Wanderers 1-0 on 18 February 2017. #ALeague

NEXT MATCH The next Unofficial A-League Men Championship matchday is Sat 18 October, with Western Sydney Wanderers hosting champions Melbourne City. City are aiming to go 3 games in a row as champs whilst the Wanderers are going for their 10th title. #ALM #ALeague #WSWvMCY

1 GOAL AWAY: If Western United scored one more goal in their second leg Semi Final against Melbourne City last year, they would have gone into hibernation as the ALM Unofficial Champion #ALM #ALeague #WesternUnited #MelbourneCity

Of the 181 times the Unofficial A-League Men Championship has changed hands, #SydneyFC & #AdelaideUnited have held it the most, 22 times each. The Reds have held it across 88 games, narrowly edging the Sky Blues who have held it through 87 games. #ALeague

ORIGINAL CHAMPS: #AdelaideUnited & #CCM were the first Unofficial A-League Men Champions, with the first game(s) of the A-League taking place simultaneously. I decided they both held the title until one beat the other, which was 79 days later, with a 1-0 win to Adelaide. #ALeague

CURRENT CHAMPIONS: Melbourne City After beating Western United 3-0 in May 2025, Melbourne City took the title of Unofficial A-League Men Champions. They’ve held that title for 150 days, defending it in two A-League matches so far. #ALM #ALeagueMen #MelbourneCity

Hello! This account exists to keep track of the Unofficial Champion of the A-League Men. Imagine if the winner of the very first A-League game won a trophy, but then surrendered it to the next team they lost to, and so on. That’s the ALM UFCC. #ALM #ALeague
