Kerry and Donegal faced each other in the 2014 All-Ireland final - with Kerry coming out on top
The massive game, which will be available to watch for FREE, is taking place at Croke Park from 3.30pm IST/BST / 10.30am ET.
Kerry are the most successful GAA football team ever, winning the All-Ireland title 38 times.
They enter the contest as favourites against a Donegal team hoping to lift the trophy for the first time since 2012.
SunSport has all the info on why the two teams are wearing different kit.
Why are Kerry and Donegal wearing alternate jerseys in the GAA All-Ireland football final and what colours will they wear?
The GAA has confirmed that BOTH teams will wear alternate kits for the final.
Both Kerry and Donegal's main colours are green and yellow.
The change is to avoid a repeat of the 2014 final between the two sides, when both teams wore their home jersey.
Fans inside the ground and watching at home were also critical of the GAA during this year's Donegal vs Meath semi-final, when both teams wore green and yellow.
For this final, Kerry will wear blue and Donegal will wear white.
The GAA wrote on social media: "A rare sight on the biggest stage. Kerry and Donegal in alternate colours for the first final clash since 2010."
