The Grand Final Sprint is held on AFL Grand Final day, usually in the pre‑game and half‑time slots at the MCG in late September each year.

For example, recent AFL Grand Finals have been scheduled on the last Saturday in September (or the first Saturday in October when the calendar shifts slightly), and the Grand Final Sprint has run as part of the day’s on‑ground entertainment program rather than on a separate date. Exact times for the Sprint (like which quarter break or precise clock time) can shift year to year, so for the next Grand Final your best bet is to check the AFL’s official Grand Final entertainment schedule once it’s released in the weeks leading up to the game.
