Seven’s coverage of AFL Grand Final week saw the network fill the top six positions for week 39. The number one program was the AFL Grand Final that became the top rated program of 2026 while the Presentations that followed is currently number four for the year. The game also recorded the highest ever rating for an AFL Grand Final. The Brownlow Medal Coverage slotted into sixth place with its highest rating in 11 years. That was ahead of 9News Sunday and The Block’s Sunday reveal episode. Seven’s overall share lifted to its best result in five weeks for a six-point margin over Nine . The top NRL result for the week was the Preliminary Final 1 that just missed the top 10 while PF2 was 15th. Nine won three days, however a third place on Saturday with the network’s second-lowest share of the year saw the network share down one point week-on-week. ABC News achieved two top 30 entries while the network’s top entertainment show as Beyond Paradise Christmas Special that ranked 41st. That was just ahead of Have You Been Paying Attention? that was again 10’s best result despite suffering a big drop this week to 42nd place. The AFL Grand Final also topped the BVOD table with a record rating for 7Plus and was number one in the 25-54 rankings. ---
