The NRL Telstra Premiership and NRL Telstra Women's Premiership Grand Finals will once again be staged at Sydney's Accor Stadium in 2024.
The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) and NSW Government have reached an agreement to keep the event day in Sydney, following the opening of the new NRL season in Las Vegas last Sunday.
The 2023 Grand Final day saw the Knights claim their second-straight NRLW title with a narrow 24-18 win over the Titans, while a dramatic late comeback against the Broncos saw the Panthers confirm a three-peat in front of a crowd of 81,947.
"Confirming the 2024 Grand Final will be held in Sydney provides certainty to NRL clubs, sponsors and broadcasters, but most importantly of all, it’s exciting news for NRL fans," ARLC chair Peter V’landys said.
The NRL and NRLW premiership seasons will culminate at Accor Stadium on 6 October and we can’t wait to watch it unfold.

Coming after the NRL's historic double-header in Las Vegas, which was attended by 40,746 fans at Allegiant Stadium, Minister for Sport Steve Kamper said it was crucial Sydney retained the hosting rights for the Grand Finals.
"The NRL has done a fantastic job in promoting and expanding the game to new markets across the US and Asia-Pacific. As such, we need to make sure we cement Sydney’s legacy as the birthplace and home of rugby league," he said.
“Given the drama of last year’s Grand Final, I am sure we can expect another full house."
Accor Stadium will see its first NRL action for the year on March 29 when the Rabbitohs host the Bulldogs there in the annual Good Friday match.
The venue will also be the scene of the opening game of the 2024 Ampol State of Origin Series between NSW and Queensland.
