The AFWL Finals coverage will air live and free on Seven and 7plus, following an action-packed home-and-away season.
For the first time in AFLW history, a four-week finals series will take place, including elimination finals, qualifying finals, semi-finals, preliminary finals and the highly anticipated AFLW Grand Final.
Seven’s own Daisy Pearce and her Melbourne Demons will play host to the Adelaide Crows in a Grand Final re-match, with the winner progressing through to the preliminary finals, on Friday November 4 from 7.00 pm AEDT on 7mate and 7plus.
Then, minor premiers the Brisbane Lions will take on Richmond in the next qualifying final from 4.00 pm AEDT on Saturday 5 November, live on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus, before the Geelong Cats battle North Melbourne in a do-or-die elimination final from 7.00 pm AEDT on 7mate and 7plus.
Rounding out Seven’s AFLW Finals Week One coverage will be Sunday’s Collingwood v Western Bulldogs elimination final clash, live from the historical Victoria Park on Sunday 6 November from 3.00 pm AEDT on Channel 7, 7mate and 7plus.
In a coup for fans, every match of the AFLW Finals Series can be streamed live and on demand on 7plus.
Throughout the finals series, footy fans will be treated to expert insight and analysis from Seven’s esteemed group of AFLW callers and hosts, including Jason Bennett, Libby Birch, Nigel Carmody, Natalie Edwards, Bec Goddard, Melissa Hickey, Abbey Holmes, Samantha Lane, Kate McCarthy, Alister Nicholson, Sarah Olle and Jo Wotton.
Lewis Martin, managing director Seven Melbourne and head of Network Sport, said: “Last weekend’s finish to the home-and-away season was an absolute thriller and the AFLW Season Seven finals series promises to keep us on the edge of our seats.
“While Brisbane firm as the favourites, Round 10 showed us that no side can be discounted from premiership contention. The race is wide open.
“Once again, we have assembled a talented, experienced, and highly respected AFLW on-air line-up, including current and former players, who know the game better than anyone else,” he said.
“As we embark on an electrifying month of finals football, the only place you can see every unmissable moment, live and free is on Seven, Your Home of Footy,” Martin added.
