The first player to reach the milestone was defender Andrew Durante, in representation of Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix; his 300th match was Wellington's 3–2 win over Central Coast Mariners on 12 January 2019.[1]

Leigh Broxham (Melbourne Victory) is the only player to have achieved to accoldate of 300+ A-League Men appearances exclusively for the club. Liam Reddy played for seven A-League Men clubs (the most for this achievement) on their way to 300+ A-League Men games. The only players from outside Oceania to play 200+ A-League Men games is Maltese defender Manny Muscat and Kosovan striker Besart Berisha.[2]
