A capacity Optus Stadium will welcome Fremantle and West Coast back to WA with an RAC Derby on Sunday 19 July at 4.35pm WST.

The clash will be a Fremantle home game with priority access given to members who have pledged their full 2020 membership. 

The RAC derby highlights the AFL’s latest fixture release for round seven.

The game is to be played in front of up to 60,000 fans with the state government planning to ease into Phase 5 restrictions on Saturday 18 July. 

Fremantle members will receive an email from the club next week with more detailed information on match ticketing and seating entitlements. 

The Ticketmaster on-sale date is yet to be confirmed.

The game will be played as the two clubs complete their mandatory 14-day quarantine after arriving from Queensland following Freo’s round six fixture against Melbourne.

The Melbourne clash will also be considered a Fremantle home game at Metricon Stadium. 

The AFL also announced that Victorian teams Collingwood and Geelong will head west to take part in a WA ‘hub’, meaning the two clubs will be Freo’s likely opponents in either rounds eight or nine at Optus Stadium.

The Magpies and the Cats will play off at Optus Stadium on Friday 17 July in front of a maximum capacity of 30,000 fans.
