How can I watch the NRL grand final?

It'll be broadcast free-to-air on Channel Nine.

ABC Sport will be live blogging the clash.

And you can listen to the match on ABC Sport via the website, local radio, and the ABC Listen app.

Where can I watch the NRL grand final in-person?

For Panthers fans unable to attend the final in person, live sites will be set up in Penrith for the event. 

Penrith City Council is hosting a free family-friendly live site at The Mondo, between Westfield Penrith and The Joan in the CBD.

The event is alcohol-free with pre-event entertainment getting away at 6pm, ahead of kick-off at 7:30pm.

The ABC contacted the Melbourne Storm, AAMI Park, Federation Square, and the Melbourne City Council to confirm any live sites. Unfortunately, none will be held so footy fans' best bet is to head to the local pub or RSL.
