It’s down to Sydney FC and Melbourne City in the season decider, with the A-League grand final set to kick off this Sunday, August 30 at 6:30pm AEST. Here, we’ll let you know how to watch the final live.

After a shaky restart to the season, current champions Sydney FC were back in form when they knocked Perth Glory out of finals contention with a 2-0 win in the semi-final.

That victory means the Sydney side are now chasing down their fifth championship – if they can pull it off, they’ll be the first club to do so.

Game day is finally here – the A-League grand final is set to kick off today at 6:30pm AEST (Sunday, August 30). We’ll soon see Sydney FC make another play for the championship, as they face-off against Melbourne City in what could be their first title.

Sunday night’s match will mark City’s first showing in an A-League grand final, but it’ll be a battle hard-won with a far more finals-experienced Sydney FC.
