After the best-attended home and away season in history, just eight teams remain to battle it out in the 2023 Toyota AFL Finals Series. 

Eight teams, eight different stories – but only one club can hold up the premiership cup on Grand Final day.

It all begins on Thursday, September 7 when Collingwood will host Melbourne in the first qualifying final at the MCG from 7.20pm AEST.

The action will return to the home of footy on Friday night for Carlton's return to finals, with the Blues to host Sydney from 7.50pm AEST.

St Kilda's match against Greater Western Sydney at the MCG at 3.20pm AEST will be the first of Saturday's two finals, before Brisbane takes on Port Adelaide at the Gabba from 7.25pm AEST.

Details on purchasing tickets for week one of the finals will be announced later on Monday morning.
