Footy at its best
Spring sees the beginning of the Finals Series for both the AFL and the NRL, culminating in the Grand Finals on Saturday 27 September and Sunday 5 October respectively. Both codes have had massive seasons and the best teams are getting down to it – and will have many guests sat in your sports bars, beer gardens and wherever you have a screen.
Will last year’s winners Brisbane Lions take out the AFL title once more, or can Adelaide or Geelong deny them the repeat? In the NRL, the Canberra Raiders, Melbourne Storm and Canterbury Bulldogs are all in the hunt for the title – who will emerge as the 2025 champions? The NRLW will also hold its Grand Final on the same day as the men’s comp, with the AFLW Grand Final to be held on Saturday 29 November.
The AFL and NRL Finals Series starts on 4 and 14 September respectively, and can be viewed on Foxtel.
