The Sydney vs Brisbane live stream is this the 2024 AFL Grand Final, one of the biggest events on the planet, and millions will be tuning in. Below we have all the information on how to watch Swans vs Lions from the MCG from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

The Swans saw off the Power 95 - 59 in their Preliminary Final while Brisbane beat the Cats 85 -95 to set up this enticing Grand Final. It was very close the last time these sides faced off, with the Lions narrowly coming out on top on that occasion. However, the Swans generally fare better. They have 26 victories since 1997, compared to 17 for their opponents.

Forward Logan McDonald was an injury doubt heading into this massive game but has recovered sufficiently to start for Sydney. No such luck for skipper Callum Mills though. He is not fit enough to take part and Dane Rampe leads the side instead. Lions ruck Oscar McInerney is also out after failing to recover from a shoulder injury. It means Darcy Fort comes into the 23. It will be just his third game of the season.

Here’s how they line up:
