What time does the NRL grand final start?

By The Roar / Editor

The NRL grand final is the biggest match on the rugby league calendar, with the Penrith Panthers and Brisbane Broncos squaring off in a decider that promises to be epic.

NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and ACT shift their clocks forward due to daylight saving on Sunday morning, so viewers from other states will need to be aware of a slightly shifted time difference than normal.

The 2023 NRL grand final will start at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Sunday, October 1 at Accor Stadium, Homebush.

That makes it a 6:30pm (AEST) start time for local viewers in Brisbane; a 4:30pm (AWST) time in Perth and Western Australia; and a 7pm (ACST) time if you’re watching from South Australia and the Northern Territory.

Gotta say the AFL’s 2.30 kick off is miles better than 7.30…

I'm no betting bloke, but I'd have thought the odds for the Ponies of $3.20 would be tighter than that.
