The league has confirmed that American rapper and actor Snoop Dogg will be headlining the 2025 AFL Grand Final.
Snoop Dogg will perform as part of the pre-game entertainment, following fellow American acts Katy Perry and rock band Kiss in recent years.
His performance on Grand Final Day will mark his first-ever live appearance at the MCG and promises to deliver one of the most unforgettable Telstra pre-game shows in AFL history.
"The AFL Grand Final is the biggest event on the Australian sporting calendar — and this year, it just got a whole lot bigger," AFL CEO Andrew Dillon said.
"Snoop Dogg is a pioneer, a performer, and a true entertainer. He's played to packed stadiums around the world — but we think 100,000 fans at the MCG might just be his most iconic crowd yet.
"We want Grand Final Day to be an unforgettable celebration of footy — and beyond the four quarters of the match, a celebration of culture, energy, and entertainment. Snoop fits that brief better than anyone.
"From Long Beach to the biggest stage in Australian sport — Snoop Dogg is coming to the MCG for the Telstra Pre-Game Entertainment, and we're ready to make history."
Snoop Dogg said he was excited to perform at the AFL's biggest day.
"It's an absolute honour to be hitting the stage at the AFL Grand Final — it's one of the biggest events on the Aussie calendar. Can't wait to bring the energy and celebrate with the fans. Let's make it unforgettable," Snoop Dogg said.
Further announcements regarding Toyota AFL Grand Final Day will be made closer to the event.
