The 1967 Victorian Football League season was the 71st season of the elite Australian rules football competition.
In 1967, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus two substitute players, known as the 19th man and the 20th man. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.
Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 7.
Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1967 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the Page-McIntyre System.
The night series were held under the floodlights at Lake Oval, South Melbourne, for the teams (5th to 12th on ladder) out of the finals at the end of the season.
Final: Footscray 15.11 (101) defeated South Melbourne 8.8 (56).
Umpires: P. Sheales, A. Cook, R. Kidd, L. Barratt, B. Grant.
