The biggest game of the NRL season sees two of the best sides from the regular season, the Melbourne Storm and the Cronulla Sharks, square off for the game’s ultimate prize with kick-off for the NRL grand final scheduled for 7:15pm (AEDT) on Sunday, October 2.
Unlike the rest of the NRL finals, Fox Sports will not have the rights to broadcast the grand final, with the match being exclusively on the Nine Network.

They will broadcast both the Holden Cup match between the Sydney Roosters and Penrith Panthers as well as the State Challenge between the Illawarra Cutters and Burleigh Bears at 1pm and 3:30pm respectively, before beginning their main game coverage at 6:30pm.
Fox Sports will have a full replay at the conclusion of the match.
Eastern states will have to remember daylight savings begins on the Sunday, and people will be winding their clocks forward. Don’t forget, otherwise you’ll miss your appointment with the couch.
The teams for the NRL grand final were named on Tuesday evening.
