The AFL has confirmed the Qualifying and Elimination Finals for the second week of the 2026 Toyota AFL Finals Series.

Geelong will commence their Finals campaign at the MCG in a Friday night blockbuster, heading up the highway on the 4th of September with the match set to kick off at 7.40pm AEST. 

The Cats will need to wait for results in this weekend's Wildcard Round to know their opponent, but they will play the lowest ranked winner and will either face the Western Bulldogs, Collingwood or Carlton. 

Elimination Final Ticketing Information to be confirmed post Wildcard Finals.

All matches across Wildcard Finals weekend will be broadcast live nationally across the Seven Network and Foxtel and streamed via 7plus, Kayo and Binge.
