The 2026 AFL Grand Final produced a thriller with a come from behind win to Brisbane in the final minutes to defeat Fremantle and achieve the club’s second three-peat. Seven’s coverage drew a national audience of 4.516m that reached 6.5m Australians.

That compares to the 2025 final that had 4.076m with a reach figure of 6.096m. That makes the game the highest rated program of 2026 so far.

The result is also the highest Grand Final result under the new VOZ ratings regime and higher than all finals under OzTAM + Regional TAM systems earlier this century to be the highest rating for a Grand Final ever . In addition, the BVOD rating delivered 7Plus its biggest day ever.

The Presentations that followed averaged 3.964m compared to 3.798m in 2025 while On The Ground averaged 3.27m up/down on 2.968m in 2025.

The Pre-Match Entertainment featuring Kylie Minogue was well up on recent years to 1.827m (2025: 1.519, 2024: 1.4m).

Addition coverage included the Post-Match with 518k and the morning’s Countdown segment that had 693k.

Prior to that, Weekend Sunrise had 424k viewers followed by Grand Final Brunch that had 495k.

Seven News that followed the AFL in most markets had an amazing 2.044m (1.938m last year) with The 1% Club from 7pm averaging 963k. Seven’s movie offering The Martian then had 429k.

Nine’s split schedule included the NRL Women’s Premiership First Preliminary Final with 245k after Nine News had 867k and A Current Affair 629k.

10’s best result came from Selling Houses Australia with 313k, up 70k week-on-week followed by a repeat of Love It Or List It Australia that also did well with the same rating.

Beyond Paradise: Christmas Special (2024) premiered on ABC to 538k and was followed by Father Brown that had 429k.

An awesome result for the AFL Grand Final. Over 4.5m is very high. Seven would be over the moon.

The Presentations had big numbers too. The On The Ground and Entertainment segments that preceded the game did very well too.

Seven’s The 1% Club UK in primetime got a boost.

Over on 10, Selling Houses Aus and Love It or List It Aus seem to do well to, both getting 313k each.

Exceptionally massive figures for the AFL grand final. It was close all afternoon right up to the final minute.

Kylie Minogue’s pre-match performance rated very well too. The AFL and Mushroom Records will be happy.

Huge ratings for the AFL Grand Final. I assume that Brisbane market would more than double Adelaide’s market thanks to a heavy following of the Brisbane Lions

As a comparison, these were the overnight figures for last year’s NRL GF between the Broncos and the Storm:

Considering that was the ‘dream’ GF for both the NRL and Nine, think many of us, after seeing those figures, would have thought it would be very hard for something else to pull those types of numbers, let alone top that. Yet here we are nearly a year later and the AFL GF has managed to do just that.

As Sully said, it’s mind-blowing.

To further validate what I’d been arguing last night:

Even the movie, which started around 8:15pm and ran for 3 hours until midnight, is a regular re-run and over a decade old, for 2026 FTA landscape, did very well. How many other films on FTA have averaged that this year? Any?

Just makes you think what a better program at 7pm or even a FTA premiere movie could’ve done off the back of yesterday’s GF (why not play Gran Turismo last night instead of next week regardless of Bathurst tie-in).

Indeed a ‘halo’ all day, even morning segments looked strong and WS.

I deliberately quoted the overnight figures to have an apples-to-apples comparison based on the data we currently have.

I’d imagine the AFL GF will rise even higher over the next 7+ days, considering how many will be playing back yesterday’s thriller, namely the last quarter or 10min. Also presentations. Most would be vod via 7Plus.

Also any exact time adjustments from Seven.

Will be interesting to see and also how this year’s NRL GF does for Nine.

When do we get the +7 figures for last Saturday’s Hawks-Lions game? Should be a good indicator of what this game might end up as when all said and done.

Insane figures. Between the NRL last year and AFL this year, both codes are red hot in the public consciousness. Amazing results for everyone.

Love to know the percentages and what it rated in Brisbane.
Edit: media release says 86% commercial share 6am-6pm.

No city breakdowns? I think last year 7 did provide it.

Please give poor @TV.Cynic a break!! He provides this wealth of info every day and people want more. I’m sure there will be further results coming.
