Richmond's home match against North Melbourne will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, August 7.

The AFL announced the Round 21 fixture this evening, with the starting time for next Saturday's match still to be determined, although it will be in one of the afternoon or twilight slots.

The meeting will be the first home and away match between the two clubs at the MCG since Round 17, 2012, and their first encounter at the venue since the 2015 elimination final.

In line with current Victorian Government protocols, no crowd will be allowed to attend, with the match to be broadcast live on FOX Footy and Kayo Sports.
