The AFL Grand Final time slot will remain during the day, according toย AFL.com.au'sย 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.

โ€œTo be clear Iโ€™d love a twilight Grand Final, I think it would be sensational to attend and, importantly, the television coverage I think would be incredible,โ€ Goyder told The Herald Sun over the summer.

โ€œAnd I think our media partners are pretty strongly supportive as well. When is a good question.

โ€œWeโ€™d have to have the best entertainment lined up and weโ€™d also need the support of the clubs because halftime would probably be a bit longer, so thereโ€™d be a few adjustments that would need to be made.

โ€œWe certainly werenโ€™t ready this year but before my time is up hopefully weโ€™ll give it a go โ€” so there you go.โ€
