AFL Grand Final: #1 program of survey 2022

5.76 million viewers reached on Seven

The Seven Network’s live, free and exclusive coverage of the 2022 AFL Grand Final yesterday reached a national audience of 5.76 million Australians on Channel 7.

The AFL Grand Final is the #1 TV program in the 2022 ratings survey year (based on overnight audiences) and scored an average total television audience of 3.06 million viewers, including 2.96 million viewers nationally and 2.18 million in the capital cities.

Seven’s 2022 AFL Grand Final audience is up nationally on the last daytime Final in 2019 between Richmond and the GWS Giants.

On 7plus, an additional 95,000 viewers watched Geelong Cats triumph over the Sydney Swans on connected TVs, with 14 million minutes streamed.


Geelong Cats’ victory dominated its timeslot in the capital cities with a 90.1% share of viewers during the game in total people, and an 91.7% share of 25 to 54s and 94% share in 16 to 39s.

In Melbourne, the Grand Final recorded a 97.7% share of viewers during the game, with Sydney recording an 80.5% share of viewers in its timeslot.

Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: “Seven’s live, free and exclusive coverage of the unmissable premiership decider captivated the nation and demonstrated once again why the AFL is Australia’s #1 winter sport.

“Seven’s AFL coverage, underpinned by our expert commentary and insights, showcases the passion, entertainment and exceptional competition of the AFL and why the unique spectacle brings our nation together like no other sport.

“It is a vital part of Seven’s unbeatable sporting content and we are delighted to work with the AFL, the players, clubs and fans for many years to come as we take the AFL’s free-to-air coverage into a new era,” he said.

The huge audience numbers for the AFL Grand Final follow a highly successful 2022 Final Series.

Excluding the Grand Final, the Final Series reached 7.8 million Australian nationally, with an average broadcast audience on Seven of 1.1 million.

Nationally, Seven’s audience was up on the 2021 Final Series (the audience of which was boosted by lockdowns in some cities). The Sydney broadcast audience jumped 23% year-on-year, while the Perth audience was up 22% and the Brisbane audience increased 10%. Seven accounted for 75% of the overall television viewing of the Finals Series.

Sevens press release specifically cites overnight ratings for a reason. this means that the streaming for Origin was probably not included in the overnights.

It's impossible to find September 18's TV Guide online now, but I can confirm in Victoria that the VFL GF was shown on the primary channel. I know because I watched it from siren to siren. Good win by Casey Demons.

Umm pal, I think Hashish was takin' the piss outta you fumblers lolololol. When he said VFL he meant AFL. But I understand how you and your fumbling mates didn't get this lololol. Living in the bubble is a terrible impediment to intelligent thought lololololol!!!

Oh I get it, and it shits me. That's why I called it out as appropriate to make HIM look foolish. Fact - the AFL and the VFL are not the same league.
