AFL & NRL Footy TV Ratings - 2026

[leeroy*NRL*]

A small win on FTA for the fumbling game. Of course when fox/kayo is added it will be another big win to Rugby League.

Punters will knowledge of pass few seasons results of FOX and the the POWER of NRL figures on FOX know this.

NRL clean up on FOX> (any update when FOX will be putting figures out since withdrawing from oztam

Just when you think leagetards couldn't get anymore delusional. Last year, it was AFL that was consistently breaking records on Fox and it's common knowledge that primetime AFL games rate higher on fox. Like it does on 7. Like it does everywhere. How about this. Why don't you add the 20k viewers watching in NZ, and then add the 7 people watching in England, and 2 in ireland and you'll get close... to our pre game numbers

this bloke,

Ignoring the obvious where NRL steams ahead on Saturday and Sunday and FOX commanding 10's & 10's of millions more viewers

In fact i think it is better to dominate Saturday and Sunday quite well over thursday and Friday, as there is 2 games to 6

FRIDAY NIGHT NRL LIVE Nine 1,383,000 590,000
SEVEN’S AFL: FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Seven 1,921,000 645,000

Another Friday night win for the AFL.

Seven’s AFL: Friday Night Football: #1 sport, #1 program in 25 to 54s and 16 to 39s. National reach 1.92 million, national audience 645,000.

do not see many wins for the NRL for rest of year on Thursday & Friday.
maybe round 26 & 27

someone quote me on this

but did the AFL when announcing the DEAL

announce it as (MEDIA RIGHTS DEAL) combining everything into Deal (tv / streaming radio digital Telstra etc)

where as the NRL announced it as Tv Rights deal which is strictly just TV/Streaming

why does the NRL do this, Isn't the Telstra Component worth 100-200mill ?

Is that AFL number for 3 games beatup?? Amazing stuff if so. And not in a good way.

AFL sunday is becoming a real issue..
playing 3 games with teams into there home states( ya need bigger figures than what we are currently seeing)
and this sunday's figure is on the high side.

Seven at least seem happy enough with their Sunday ratings. Christ knows why Foxtel dont arc up about the clash fixturing though.
