The VFL has released the fixture for 2018, with North debuting on April 15 against the Northern Blues.
The first match will take place in the second week of the second tier competition with North given an extra week of preparation due to a bye scheduled for the opening round.
The 2018 fixture was released on Friday morning and the Roos feature as one of the 15 teams set to compete.
The home-and-away season consists of 21 rounds commencing on April 1, and will run through until August 26, before a month-long finals campaign in the first week of September.
In total, North has three byes with breaks also coming at rounds 11 and 20. Eight of the club's 18 games will be at 'home' - the majority of which will be played at Avalon Airport Oval in Werribee. North will play five matches at the venue, with the location of two remaining fixtures to be announced.
Potential AFL curtain-raiser matches have been proposed for 2018, and will be confirmed in the new year.
