This year’s AFLW grand final will be held under lights in a primetime 7.45pm spot for the first time in the league’s history.
The AFL announced the timeslot for the November 30 grand final on Wednesday morning, with AFLW general manager Emma Moore and executive general manager Laura Kane describing it as an “exciting time” for the women’s game.
Last year’s decider between the Kangaroos and the Lions was held at Ikon Park on a Sunday at 2.30pm – the latest start in the league’s history.The AFL has previously explored the potential of a twilight or night grand final for the men’s competition, hosting the grand final under lights during the COVID-19 interrupted campaigns of 2020 and 2021.
“We had a lot of feedback from a lot of people, we listened to it, and there are things that will change next year as a result of that feedback,” Kane said.
