The Saints are set to take on the Suns in an unofficial match-up ahead of the 2026 season at People First Stadium.
St Kilda will take a squad of 26 up north, headlined by five new additions from the 2025 off-season.
Tom De Koning, Jack Silvagni, Sam Flanders, Liam Ryan and Charlie Banfield will all suit up for the first time against opposition after strong pre-seasons.
Mattaes Phillipou has also been named to appear, after a stellar summer following an injury-interrupted 2025 campaign.
Jack Sinclair and Bradley Hill will not head to the Gold Coast due to taking part in AAMI AFL Origin on Saturday, but have returned to RSEA Park with a clean bill of health.
Entry to People First Stadium is FREE with no tickets required. Enter through Gate 3 from 6:15pm AEST and the game will begin at 6:45pm AEST (Local Queensland Time), or 7:45pm AEDT (Melbourne Time)
Car parking will be available in the Red Carpark.
A number of Saints fans will be meeting from 5pm at Emerald Lakes Golf Club for pre-game dinner/drinks.
The game will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.
