Watch Sydney vs Port Adelaide live streams from the Sydney Cricket Ground in the first of the 2024 AFL Preliminary Finals. Below we have all the info on how to watch Sydney vs Port Adelaide from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, live streams and start times.

Port Adelaide have beaten minor premier Sydney in eight straight meetings, the latest a 112-point beatdown for the ages only last month, and yet... The Power are so wildly unpredictable – let's not forget the 84-point pumping they suffered at the hands of Geelong a fortnight ago – that the Swans are most people's favorites for today's clash. 

One major asset Sydney have going for them is the SCG, one of the most compact grounds in the AFL, and a venue at which Port Adelaide haven't played since 2018. Another is that man Isaac Heeney, who put in one of the performances of the season in the Swans' comeback victory over GWS. Their star men do have an unfortunate habit of going missing against the Power, however.
