The Phoenix were forced to play out the entirety of their inaugural campaign in Australia.
Eight of their home games are planned to be played at Sky Stadium in Wellington, with the club hopeful of taking the other match to Auckland.
Five of their fixtures in the capital will be played as double-headers with the Phoenix men.
All of the women's matches will be played at family-friendly times, with the latest kick-offs being 5:35pm on a couple of Saturdays.
New head coach Natalie Lawrence will lead the side out in their maiden match in Wellington against heavyweights Melbourne City in round one on Sunday, November 20.
They will return to Sky Stadium the following Saturday to host newcomers Western United in their second standalone fixture.
The women's next three home games, on Saturday, December 17, Monday, January 2 and Sunday, January 22 will all be double-headers with the men.
Their next individual fixture will be against beaten grand finalists Sydney FC on Sunday, February 25, following the competition's FIFA international break. The venue has yet to be confirmed, but the club is hoping to take the match to Auckland.
Subject to finalising venue availability, they will be back at Sky Stadium the following Saturday to play Brisbane Roar as part of a double-header.
The women's final standalone fixture is against Perth Glory on Saturday, March 18 before rounding out the regular season a fortnight later with a blockbuster double-header against Melbourne Victory.

Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome has welcomed the release of the women's draw.
"As I've mentioned previously, I've never been this excited heading into a Phoenix season," Dome said. "A big reason for that is we're able to bring the women home for the first time.
"It's the start of a massive 12 months for women's football in New Zealand and I simply can't wait for our opening game against Melbourne City."
Dome has set the bar high, targeting a record A-League women's crowd for the season opener.
"I want to see 10 thousand plus fans come to Sky Stadium on Sunday, November 20.
"The players and staff deserves a big homecoming for everything they went through in their maiden season in Australia and we have the chance to show everyone that we have the best fans in the A-League."
The Phoenix women will assemble in Wellington next month for the start of pre-season training.
