  • The Block 2026 auctions are reportedly scheduled for Saturday, October 31.

  • The finale is expected to air the next evening on Channel Nine and 9Now.

  • Five teams will battle for the biggest auction profit and an additional $100,000 prize.

  • Britt and Taz won The Block 2025, taking home a whopping $520,000.

After months of renovations, fierce competition and lots (like, LOTS) of dramatic scenes, The Block 2026 is approaching its grand finale, with five teams preparing to put their luxurious Mount Eliza properties under the hammer.

The five teams competing on The Block 2026 were: Adam and Jolene, Chantel and Wyatt, Lisa and Rosco, Courtney and Sev, and Rick and Tayla. Each team will put their luxurious Mount Eliza property up for auction, hoping to walk away with the biggest profit and the $100,000 winner’s prize.

This year’s season has been packed with controversy, from Courtney and Sev’s wine cellar drama to ongoing rivalries between basically every contestant. However, everything ultimately comes down to auction day, when the teams will discover whether their hard work actually paid off.

So, when is The Block 2026 finale, and when will we discover who wins? We’ve got all the deets!

When do we find out the results of The Block auction?

Unlike some reality television finales, The Block auctions aren’t broadcast live.

Typically, the properties go under the hammer on a Saturday, with the results kept secret until the finale airs on Sunday evening. This year’s five competing teams are Adam and Jolene, Chantel and Wyatt, Lisa and Rosco, Courtney and Sev, and Rick and Tayla.

The winner will be determined by which team makes the largest profit above their property’s reserve price, with an additional $100,000 awarded to the winner.

When did The Block grand finale air last year?

The Block 2025 finale aired on Sunday, October 26, on Channel Nine, with the auctions taking place the previous day.

The season was filmed in Daylesford, Victoria, where five teams renovated sweeping country properties. However, auction day delivered some devastating results, with two couples failing to sell their houses.

Who won The Block auction in 2025?

Western Australian police officers and couple, Britt and Taz, were crowned the winners of The Block 2025 after their Daylesford property sold for an impressive $3.41 million.

With a reserve of $2.99 million, the couple pocketed $420,000 in profit, plus the $100,000 winners’ bonus, bringing their total winnings to $520,000. Not too shabby!

Meanwhile, Sonny and Alicia earned $120,000, while Robby and Mat secured $109,999.10. Unfortunately, Emma and Ben and Han and Can walked away empty-handed after their properties were passed in at auction.

The Block airs Sunday – Wednesday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
