Collingwood will face the GWS GIANTS at ENGIE Stadium to kick off its 2025 season, after the Opening Round fixture was released this morning.
The clash will take place at Engie Stadium on Sunday March 9 at 3:20pm AEDT.
It will be the second year in a row that the Pies will head to Sydney to face GWS in Opening Round, after the two clubs kicked off their 2024 seasons at the same venue.
The fixture could potentially see Magpies recruit Harry Perryman make his Collingwood debut against his former Club, after the midfielder moved south to the AIA Vitality Centre during this year’s free agency period.
The game falls the day before the Labour Day Public Holiday in Victoria, providing a chance for the Magpie Army based in the south to travel north for the long weekend.
