It’s Brisbane’s third consecutive AFL grand final and the Lions are looking to be back-to-back premiers in 2025. But not if Geelong have anything to say about it.

The 2025 Toyota AFL Grand Final starts at 2.30pm on Saturday, September 27, and supporters who haven’t made it down to Melbourne will need somewhere they can watch it live and loud.

Your local pub can fit the bill, and there is also the official viewing site in New Farm. Be sure to settle in early: the pre-match entertainment at the MCG is headlined by Snoop Dogg, with support from Baker Boy, Vera Blue, Tash Sultana, Emma Donovan and Kee’ahn, as well as footy perennial Mike “Up There Cazaly” Brady.

Getting in early on Thursday at New Farm Park was Greenslopes mum Anne Pattearson and her kids Madeleine and George.
