The episode will be televised across the country on channels 10 and 10 Peach.
It will cap off four days of 90-minute episodes starting on Monday, July 25.
In the UK, Neighbours fans can tune into the finale at 9pm on Friday, July 29, on Channel 5.
After nearly 9000 episodes, Neighbours is promising the finale will be gripping and emotional, offering something for all generations of fans dating back to the opening scene in 1985.
The cast bid a fond farewell to the soap last week, coming together on set for the final time ahead of Neighbours’ studios in Melbourne packing down.
The finale will see fan favourites from the past return to Ramsay Street along with Erinsborough locals.
Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue are among those returning for the finale, with executive producer Jason Herbison describing their characters Scott and Charlene as the “ultimate Neighbours couple”.
“We are thrilled that Jason and Kylie have come home to play a very special part in our series finale,” Mr Herbison told his social media followers earlier this year.
The show announced its cancellation in March, following the loss of its main UK broadcast partner Channel 5.
