The A-League grand final in Perth has been scheduled for Sunday week in a twilight timeslot at Optus Stadium.

Football Federation Australia (FFA) says the Glory's home decider against Sydney FC or Melbourne Victory will start at 4.30pm local time (6.30pm AEST).

The FFA says the Sunday final avoids a clash with next Saturday's federal election, while also giving more time for Sydney or Victory to recover from midweek AFC Champions League (ACL) games.

The Sky Blues have a Tuesday night ACL fixture, with Victory playing in the league the following night.
