Today's Geelong vs Brisbane live stream is set to be a thrilling encounter as the Cats take on the Lions at the MCG for a place in the 2024 AFL Grand Final. Below we have all the information on how to watch Geelong vs Brisbane from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, streams and start times.

Trailing by 44 points in the third quarter against GWS Giants, Brisbane staged a miraculous comeback to win 105-100 and earn their place in the Preliminary Finals. The Lions now have the chance to reach a second consecutive Grand Final but will need their inconsistent forwards to deliver in front of goal—especially the ultra-talented Joe Daniher who on his day can dominate from the first whistle to the last. 

Few would have predicted that Geelong would make it this far but they were sensational against Port Adelaide two weeks ago, securing a thumping 84-point victory in the Qualifying Final. Ruthless in front of goal, they will once again be looking to sharpshooters Jeremy Cameron, Tyson Stengle and Gryan Miers to fire them into the 2024 Grand Final. If they can also dominate the midfield, then the Cats will be tough to stop.
