The AFL will revert to a day grand final this year after experimenting with a night decider in 2020.
The league's 18 clubs have been told the 2021 grand final will return to a daytime slot at the MCG on September 25.
Coronavirus complications saw the bulk of last year's schedule, including the entire finals series, played outside of Victoria.
Richmond won their third premiership in four years by defeating Geelong under lights at the Gabba in Brisbane last October.
Last year's grand final was historic for two reasons: the first time the last game of the season was played outside Victoria and it took place after dark.
Instead of a fully fledged night game, the AFL toyed with the idea of a twilight grand final, but a return to a 2.30pm slot is sure to please a large contingent of the league's fans who like the tradition of a day match.
