Channel 9 is set to broadcast four NRL games each week under the long- running free-to-air deal, alongside Origin and finals coverage. The NRL’s agreement with Nine runs through at least the end of the 2027 season.

What that means

  • Regular season: usually 4 games a week on Nine.
  • Big events: State of Origin and the men’s finals series are also included on Nine.
  • Availability: the coverage is on Channel 9 and 9Now.

In plain terms

If you mean the weekly free-to-air NRL schedule, the answer is 4 games on Nine. For 2026, Nine’s broader NRL package is still part of its deal through 2027.
