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. ---
