Last night’s NRL Grand Final that saw the Sydney Roosters crowned the premieres after a one-point win over the Newcastle Knights averaged 4.286m. That compares to last year’s final that had a record 4.46m viewers while the 2024 final had 3.42m and the AFL GF had 4.516m one week ago. The result included 1.477m watching via BVOD for the second highest rated NRL Grand Final ever in preliminary numbers. The post game program had 1.851m still watching at 9.30pm. Earlier in the day the Women’s Grand Final that saw the Roosters defeat the Broncos had 1.01m while the State Cup Championship Grand Final saw the title go to the Dolphins averaging 517k while the Entertainment had 2.525m. Later, The Garlo’s Aussie Pie Eating Championship that followed the footy coverage had 331k. Nine News that was a 30 minute bulletin in four markets and 60 minutes in Perth from 7:15 PM had 1.432m while Seven News had 1.192m. Meanwhile The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2026 premiered on Seven to 522k while Gogglebox Australia had 371k down on last week’s season high of 587k. ABC’s Portrait Artist Of The Year crowned Jasmine Lancaster the winner of the Season Two with 444k tuning in to the final, down on the semi final that had 476k. Later on Seven, The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart managed 269k while Season 34 of The Graham Norton Show premiered to 176k on 10. On ABC, Grand Designs: House Of The Year Season 8 Final had 250k. Weekend Sunrise had 360k for an easy win over Weekend Today’s NRL Grand Final episode that had 227 while Weekend Breakfast had 180k. ---

Wow. 4.286m viewers for the NRL Grand Final. Impressive numbers there. The pre-match (entertainment) and post-match segments did well too. Some good numbers for the daytime games (and their various pre/post match segments) too. Seven’s Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo did well against the NRL. ---

4.286m is below AFL’s. No surprise really. Those who tuned in earlier in the day got to see two super-blowouts, so they thought by extension, it would be more of the same. ---

Massive ratings for the NRL Grand Final. I imagine that a majority of the audience would be from NSW. Not ideal that Portrait Artist of the Year finale was up against the NRL decider. Next year the ABC should consider airing a one off special on the night. ---

What sort of logic is this given they are unrelated competitions… you might as well say viewers watched a greyhound race at Wentworth Park on Saturday night that wasn’t close so they thought the NRL Grand Final wouldn’t be close either. ---

NRL would be pleased with these ratings. Without any QLD teams or Melbourne Storm i did not expect anything over 4m regardless if the game was close. Not far off the AFL GF rating from the week prior. ---

400k average viewers and 900k reach seems a bit far off to me. Think this year has shown vlandys that there isn’t a number one rated sport, especially as the NRL has been humbled a bit by the AFL’s dominance over the finals series and FTA viewership throughout the season. Still fantastic ratings given it was an all Sydney grand final. ---

Amazing that an all-NSW final got such a high figure. The preliminary rating is just below the 2nd and 3rd State of Origin games that had 4,294,000 and 4,290,000 to be overall the 4th highest rated program of the year. A rare year to have 4 x +4 million programs and 2 x +3.9 million ---

> [@TV.Cynic](#): > > Last night’s NRL Grand Final that saw the Sydney Roosters crowned the premieres after a one-point win over the Newcastle Knights averaged 4.286m. That compares to last year’s final that had a record 4.46m viewers while the 2024 final had 3.42m and the AFL GF had 4.516m one week ago. The result included 1.477m watching via BVOD for the second highest rated NRL Grand Final ever in preliminary numbers. NRL pre game entertainment got more than AFL but I think that’s mainly because the NRL one was 15-30mins before the game start while AFL happens close to an hour before. Also the 7pm v 1:30pm too. But NRL didn’t spend much on entertainment and did get more viewers [Next page](https://forums.mediaspy.org/t/sunday-4-october-2026/31775.md?page=2)
