The under-16 and under-14 clash, to be played in Clunes, is part of the Ballarat and District Subway Junior Inter-League competition.
It is the first time the MCDFNL will be involved in the competition.
MCDFNL operations manager Scott Carey said the change in format would be a benefit for the league.
“This is a great opportunity for our juniors to play a much higher standard than previous years against very competitive Central Highlands FL sides,” he said.
The matches will be played at Victoria Park in Clunes.
The under-14 match will be at 6.35pm and the under-16 match is at 7.55pm.
