List of A-League players

These are lists of A-League players who have made 200 or more appearances in the A-League, the top level of the Australian soccer league system.

Since the A-League's formation at the start of the 2005–06 season, four players have accrued 300 or more appearances in the A-League. The first player to reach the milestone was defender Andrew Durante, in representation of Newcastle Jets, Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix; his 300th match was Wellington's 3–2 win over Central Coast Mariners on 12 January 2019.[1][2]

Leigh Broxham (Melbourne Victory) is the only player to have achieved the accolade of 300+ A-League appearances exclusively for one club. The only player from outside Australia and New Zealand to play 200 A-League games is Kosovan striker Besart Berisha, for Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory and Western United
