Airdate: Stawell Gift 2022

Seven Network begins five straight days of sport from tonight in AFL, horse racing, surfing and the annual Stawell Gift.

The Easter extravaganza kicks off when the Brisbane Lions host Collingwood tonight for Thursday Night Footy at the Gabba, broadcast live and free on Channel 7 from 7.30pm AEST.

On Friday, AFL fans will be thrilled when North Melbourne take on the Western Bulldogs in the annual Good Friday SuperClash at Marvel Stadium from 4.00pm AEST, during Seven’s 65th Annual Good Friday Appeal broadcast.

With promising conditions forecast, the surfing action continues today live and free on 7plus for the remainder of the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour’s Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach.

In a boost for state league footy fans, key games from the SANFL, WAFL and VFL will be streamed live and free on 7plus, starting with the SANFL’s Norwood v Port Adelaide clash, from 7.30pm ACST on Friday. WAFL fans will be treated to the Round One Subiaco v South Fremantle clash at 2.00pm AWST on Saturday, before Port Melbourne host Essendon from 2.00pm AEST on Sunday afternoon.

On the closing day of Sydney’s Autumn Carnival, the Group 1 $600,000 All Aged Stakes and the Group 1 $500,000 Champagne Stakes headline the thoroughbred racing action from Royal Randwick. Star filly Fireburn will look to become the seventh horse in history to nab Australia’s two-year-old Triple Crown should she win the highly-anticipated Champagne Stakes.

Other highlights at Caulfield include the Group 3 Easter Cup (2000m) and Victoria Handicap (1400m), along with the Listed Redoute’s Choice Stakes (1000m) for two-year-olds.
