The women will take to the field at 3:40pm following the men's senior clash with the Rovers, which has been moved forward to commence at 1:10pm.
While the North East Female Football League usually plays on a Sunday, Wodonga Raiders' women's football club president Skye Burgess admitted it's a welcomed change.
"In my mind it's the future of the local leagues, so it's very exciting," she said.
ALSO IN SPORT:
The Raiders women are so far undefeated this season, and will also take on the Rovers.
"We've had a good track record over the last few years, so the anticipation is building," Burgess said.
The side has fallen to Thurgoona in the grand final the past two seasons.
"We're hoping third time is a charm," Burgess said.
Tickets for the Raiders Women's Club Day can be purchased via the club's Facebook page.
