After a long wait, the NRL grand final is finally upon us. This year sees the Penrith Panthers tackle the Melbourne Storm for the NRL premiership. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:30pm (AEDT) on Sunday, October 25.

Despite plans for this match to be played at the SCG, it will be played at ANZ Stadium, as has been normal since 1999, after plans to renovate the stadium were abandoned.
