The NRL grand final is the biggest match on the rugby league calendar, with the Melbourne Storm and Penrith Panthers 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 2024 NRL grand final will start at 7:30pm (AEDT) on Sunday, October 6 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.
