On a night when war broke out in the Middle East it was the first Saturday without Olympic coverage for four weeks.

A Current Affair’s Saturday edition returned with 641k to be ahead of Border Security - Australia’s Front Line that again delivered at 7pm for Seven with 557k and ranked fifth overall despite being a repeat.

The sixth season of Space Invaders premiered to 410k on NIne to be just ahead of the 2.5 hour coverage of the 2026 Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras on ABC with 409k. That compared to 422k in 2025 and 441k in 2024. Meanwhile Love It or List Australia was back in the top 30 for 10 with 239k.

The premiere movie Fast X on Seven managed just 251k at 7.30pm with Runaway Bride on Nine at 8.30pm averaging 236k. Later, Baby Driver on Seven had 111k to just make the top 30.

In the afternoon, Seven’s Horse Racing Randwick had 160k.

Seven News was the number one show on the night, over one million for the first time in three weeks on a Saturday and 60k ahead of Nine News. Meanwhile, ABC News Channel’s Late News (part of rolling coverage of Iran War followed by Four Corners) made the rankings with almost 200k as viewers tuned in for breaking news.

Weekend Sunrise topped 400k while the best segment of Weekend Today had 270k.

The Mardi Gras parade topped the reach table last year with over 1.72 million. Last night it came third in reach behind 7News and 9News.

5

Poor result for the FTA premiere of Fast X on Seven, though Robin Hood did well for 7mate.

6

Four Corners - EV would have been News Channel (aka the original News 24) coverage of the war I’m guessing.

Space Invaders had a good return for Nine at 7.30pm.
While 10’s Love It or List It in the same timeslot did well (in 10’s standards). Triple episodes of Survivor that followed failed to make an impression.

A few entries from ABC News Channel - totally (and quite a few entries in the demos, particularly the 16-39 demo) due to breaking news from Overseas.
