AFL finals fixture 2020 confirmed: Week 1 finals games, fixtures, times, venues

Collingwood faces the dreaded trip west to begin this year's finals campaign after losing its final match of the home and away season.

The Magpies came into their Round 18 clash against Port Adelaide at the Gabba needing a win to avoid facing West Coast in an elimination final at Optus Stadium, but were unable to topple the ladder-leaders.

Collingwood's loss will also be welcomed by the Western Bulldogs, who will now face St Kilda in its own elimination final, instead of the Eagles in Perth.

Here is the full fixture for week one of the AFL finals:

Thursday, October 1
Port Adelaide v Geelong, Adelaide Oval, 7.40pm AEST

Friday, October 2
Brisbane Lions v Richmond, Gabba, 7.50pm AEST

Saturday, October 3
St Kilda v Western Bulldogs, Gabba, 4.40pm AEST
West Coast Eagles v Collingwood, Optus Stadium, 8.10pm AEST
