NEW CHAMPION They’ve done it again! For the second year running, Auckland have stolen the title off their rivals in the first weekend of December, after another win in the NZ Derby. #ALM #ALeague #AKLvWEL

UCALM MATCHDAY 📆 3:00pm 🏟️ Go Media Stadium ⚽️ #AKLvWEL For the second year in a row, a NZ Derby on the first weekend of December will also be a UCALM title bout. The Phoenix will be hoping to go one better and avoid handing the title over to their rivals again.

The last time Wellington Phoenix were Unofficial Champs, they lost it to Auckland FC. That was 7 Dec 2024 @ Go Media Stadium. Almost a year to the date Wellington will return as champs. Will we see history repeat? #ALeague #AKLvWEL

SCENARIOS This is how the title could travel in the weeks to come! No matter who wins this week, the Mariners will have a pretty good chance at fighting for the title in the coming weeks. #ALeague #ALM

NEXT MATCH It’s NZ Derby time, with new champs Wellington travelling to Auckland to defend their 12th unofficial title. #ALeague #NZDerby #AKLvWEL

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

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
