About AFL Preliminary Finals
The AFL Preliminary Finals are the penultimate stage of the finals series - two win-or-go-home matches that decide which clubs advance to the Grand Final. Played before big finals crowds, they are among the highest-pressure games of the season.
The next AFL Preliminary Finals are two knockout matches, each sending the winner through to the Grand Final and ending the losing side's season. They are typically played at the MCG and other major grounds.
