The NSW Government is today announcing that the Government and the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) have reached agreement to host the 2024 NRL and NRLW Grand Finals in Sydney on Sunday, 6 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Government and ARLC has provided certainty to rugby league fans across the nation the Grand Final will remain in NSW, the birthplace of the NRL, and will once again fill Australia\u2019s home of sport, Accor Stadium at Olympic Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After an electric start to the season in Las Vegas, the 2024 NRL season is expected to deliver more excitement and entertainment with the Penrith Panthers vying for the first four-peat in the NRL era, and the first since the legendary St. George Dragons team of the 1950\u2019s and 60\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the NRL growing its audience to international markets both in the US and the Asia-Pacific, a new audience of fans are engaging with our code, and with Sydney as the home of the Grand Final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In securing the NRL Grand Final, Sydney is further cementing its status as the premier destination and major events capital of the Asia-Pacific. In the past year Sydney has hosted the UFC, FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup, Harry Styles, Foo Fighters, Elton John, Paul McCartney, P!NK and of course Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, we need to make sure we cement Sydney\u2019s legacy as the birthplace and home of rugby league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGiven the drama of last year\u2019s Grand Final, I am sure we can expect another full house of 82,500 on Grand Final day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n ARLC Commission Chair Peter V\u2019landys said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cConfirming the 2024 Grand Final will be held in Sydney provides certainty to NRL clubs, sponsors and broadcasters \u2014 but most importantly of all, it\u2019s exciting news for NRL fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe NRL and NRLW premiership seasons will culminate at Accor Stadium on 6 October \u2014 and we can\u2019t wait to watch it unfold.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The NSW Government is today announcing that the Government and the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) have reached agreement to host the 2024 NRL and NRLW Grand Finals in Sydney on Sunday, 6 October.
