THE AFL will change the time of Greater Western Sydney's home clash against Essendon next year to avoid a clash with soccer heavyweight Manchester United.

The switch means St Kilda's home game against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium will be played at 7.40pm in a direct swap with the GWS-Dons match, to maintain the broadcast structure.

Manchester United last week locked in a night friendly on July 20 at ANZ Stadium against an A-League All-Stars side.

The Giants and Bombers were to play at Skoda Stadium in Round 17 at the same time.

But the match will now be played at 2.10pm after a GWS request.

"The AFL seeks to support major events where possible, and to avoid clashes with any AFL matches," AFL broadcasting boss Simon Lethlean said.

"It's in the best interests of all sports fans for these changes to be made for Round 17 next season with as much notice as we can provide."


The reshuffle will bring relief to GWS supporters agonising over which match to attend in Sydney that night.

The NRL currently has a clash with the Manchester United sell-out, with the Sydney Roosters set to host Cronulla Sharks at Allianz Stadium that night.
