Football is back!

Some of the best players from both Victoria and Western Australia are set to lock horns in a fantasy-type matchup at Optus Stadium.

The Sporting News has all the details on how to catch the action.

Victorian viewers will be able to catch the game on the main channel, while places such as Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales will have to tune into 7Mate to catch the action.
