The main rugby league grand finals are held in early October, but the exact date depends on the competition and year.

Key dates

  • For the English Betfred Super League, the 2026 Grand Final at Old Trafford is scheduled for Saturday 3 October 2026.
  • For Australia’s NRL, “Grand Final Sunday” in 2026 at Accor Stadium is set for Sunday 4 October 2026.

How it usually works

  • The Super League Grand Final is typically played on a Saturday night in early October at Old Trafford.
  • The NRL Grand Final is typically played the same weekend on the Sunday night in Sydney.

If you say which league and year you care about (NRL vs Super League, or another competition), a more precise answer can be given.
