NRL Grand Final

Like many other sporting events, the NRL Grand Final has become essential to Australian culture.

Every year, this sporting event draws footy fans nationwide to Sydney to watch the game live at Accor Stadium. For those unable to attend, the match is shown live on Channel 9.

NRL Grand Final, 2024 Date, Seating Chart, Ticket Prices, Entertainment

The Grand Final is the pinnacle of the NRL & NRLW Telstra Premiership, where an entire season’s worth of commitment, determination and sacrifice for players, and fans alike, culminate with an atmosphere and experience almost unrivalled in Australian sport. This year, the Grand Final returns to Accor Stadium on Sunday, 6 October.

On Sunday night, the Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers will battle it out for premiership glory in the 2024 NRL Grand Final at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

For one team, real glory. For the other, real heartbreak. One tackle could change the history books. Will you be here to witness it live?

The 2024 NRL & NRLW Telstra Premiership Grand Finals will again fill Australia’s home of sport, Accor Stadium, at Olympic Park, on Sunday, 6 October.

And to make the biggest day in Australian sport even bigger – GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum chart-topping global superstar The Kid LAROI will headline the 2024 NRL and NRLW Telstra Premiership Grand Final Entertainment.

No scrum is needed for this one – just pure exhilaration!
