The 2007 Victorian Football League (VFL) is a semi-professional Australian Rules Football competition featuring twelve teams from Victoria and one team from Tasmania.
The VFL Season is split into two sub-leagues, seniors and reserves. Both leagues have the same teams, except for Tasmania and Geelong, who only play in the seniors league. The VFL Geelong team operates as a reserves team for the AFL team of the same name.
In all cases the VFL reserves team competes prior the VFL senior team except for Tasmanian and Geelong home games where there are no reserves team. Some of the Geelong (VFL) home games are played before a Geelong (AFL) home game, all of which are played at Skilled Stadium.
