AFL & NRL Footy TV Ratings - 2026

[leeroy*NRL*]

Cheers Wookie. Gees would love to know the STV Fox Footy/Kayo numbers for last nights epic Hawthorn vs Collingwood draw. I would think the tv ratings would have been very good. I wish the AFL would release more STV tv ratings like the NRL have been doing many times this season. Is what it is I guess.

NRL havent done anything numbers wise since the deal was announced. Was all about the campaign for the rights one suspects

yeah 100% they published it 100% for the Tv Deal.

makes me think if NRL and AFL have the data
why not publish it more.

They 100% have the data. But its like any stats they own, sparsely released, for their own reasons.
See: NRL clubs and membership data, AFL and player stats

crowd data isnt maintained by leagues but by volunteers like afltables and rugbyleagueproject and ultimatealeague.
TV and financial tables are literally just me at this point.

yeah correct
I am a member in 2 clubs between the codes and i would not even no what the member total is, its so secretive

I look forward to FOX sorting out there side of things and releasing data, it was more fun

In what's been a disastrous time for the AFL last nights FTA ratings were abysmal. They were absolutely smashed by the NRL. And in worse news the crowd for the Storm was higher than the AFL across the road in good 'ol Melbourne town. It's a horrible time to be a fumbler. Condolences to our dear leader.

NRL ratings 658k. Crowd 17,780.
AFL ratings 477k. Crowd 14,429.

AFL finally got a bludger of a game..

NRL has been littered with them constantly.

Good point -AFL game under cover. Makes it even worst. Gotta be one of the lowest crowds in Melbourne for years.
