West Coast vs Collingwood: where to watch the Eagles vs Magpies AFL 2020 finals match

It's day three of the first finals week and tonight (October 3), the West Coast Eagles take on the Magpies from Collingwood – this blockbuster match kicks off at 8:10pm AEST / 6:10pm WST live from Perth's Optus Stadium. 

This might be the Eagles' only chance to play a finals match in front of a home crowd which, by all accounts, was a sellout not long after the tickets went on sale.

West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood: live stream and time

It’s game day! Tonight’s West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood clash takes place at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, and the match is set to kick off at 8:10pm AEST / 6:10pm WST. Australians can watch West Coast Eagles vs Collingwood live and on Kayo Sports, or on Foxtel’s Fox Footy. A free-to-air broadcast will show on 7Mate.

The Magpies started off strong this year, but have since slumped to the bottom of the top eight teams. Collingwood has had a rocky season on and off the field, so this go-hard or go-home match to be played with an Eagles home crowd will be hard won, particularly after the team's devastating 111-45 defeat against the Eagles in round eight.

The Pies might be the underdogs heading into this match but, with a Grand Final spot to play for, they might soar higher than the birds of prey from Western Australia to redeem themselves and keep their AFL dreams alive.

How will this play out? Find out live at 8:10pm AEST / 6:10pm WST tonight (October 3) when the last qualifier for the week kicks off on both free-to-air and on streaming platforms.
