The top two teams in the NRL rugby league will battle it out in the Grand Final, which will be held at the Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
What Teams Are Expected to Compete?
It is difficult to predict what teams will compete in the upcoming NRL Final Series, as the regular season isn’t over.
However, some teams are expected to participate in the finals this year. For example, the Canberra Raiders are likely to compete, as they have dominated the regular season. As of August 2025, the team is sitting pretty in the number one position of the NRL ladder.
Melbourne Storm are strong contenders for the finals, as they are close behind the Raiders in the NRL ladder thanks to their consistency, improved defence, and attacking style of play.
You cannot rule out the Canterbury Bulldogs, as they have secured a superb win-loss record this season and offer arguably one of the best defensive teams in the NRL at the moment.
Other top teams stand a good chance of reaching the NRL Final Series, too, such as the Penrith Panthers, Brisbane Broncos, New Zealand Warriors, and Cronulla Sharks. Of course, fans won’t know for sure until the regular season is over.
Where Can I Watch the NRL Final Series 2025?
Every match from the NRL Final Series, including the Grand Final, will be broadcast on Channel 9 in Australia, or you can stream them on 9Now.
Alternatively, you can watch a game on Fox League on Foxtel, which shows every match without ad breaks, or you can stream the matches on Kayo, but it will feature delayed coverage of the Grand Final.
If you live outside of Australia and New Zealand, you can catch every game on the streaming platform Watch NRL.
Check your local TV guide to see if your broadcaster holds the rights to the NRL Final Series. For example, it’s likely to air on Sportsnet in Canada, and Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.
