The Dally M Awards are typically held in late September or early October each year, in the week leading into the NRL Grand Final.

When is the Dally M Awards night?

  • The Dally M Awards are the NRL’s annual “night of nights,” usually scheduled mid‑week just before Grand Final weekend.
  • In recent seasons they’ve fallen around the last week of September or the first days of October (for example, the 2025 Dally M Awards were held on 1 October 2025).

So if you are planning ahead for future years, expect the Dally M Awards to land in that same late‑September/early‑October window, a few days before the NRL Grand Final.
