The AFL Grand Final time slot will remain during the day, according to AFL.com.au's Damian Barrett.
A verdict was reached during a meeting between the AFL commission today, with the 2020 decider on Saturday, September 26 likely to start at 2.30pm AEST.
It is believed that AFL boss Gillon McLachlan recommended to the commissioners today to keep the game in its traditional day time slot.
AFL commission boss Richard Goyder has repeatedly pushed to move the game to a twilight slot.
“To be clear I’d love a twilight Grand Final, I think it would be sensational to attend and, importantly, the television coverage I think would be incredible,” Goyder told The Herald Sun over the summer.
“And I think our media partners are pretty strongly supportive as well. When is a good question.
“We’d have to have the best entertainment lined up and we’d also need the support of the clubs because halftime would probably be a bit longer, so there’d be a few adjustments that would need to be made.
“We certainly weren’t ready this year but before my time is up hopefully we’ll give it a go — so there you go.”
