The Traitors Australia 2026 has delivered some seriously impressive deception from Kirby Bentley and some seriously questionable Faithful detective work, but after weeks of lies, betrayals and backstabbing, it’s almost time to find out who will walk away victorious in The Traitors Australia 2026 finale.
With just six remaining players inching closer to the endgame, the stakes are higher than ever as the Faithfuls desperately try to sniff out the two Traitors hiding among them before it’s too late.
So, when is The Traitors Australia 2026 finale, who’s still in the running and how can you watch it? Here’s everything you need to know.
When is The Traitors Australia 2026 finale?
The Traitors finale will air at 7:30pm on Wednesday, September 9, 2026 on Channel 10 and 10Play.
Throughout the season, episodes have been available to stream on 10Play from 12pm AEST on the day they air. However, that’s unlikely to be the case for the finale, as other shows with early streaming drops have held back their finales until the episode airs on TV.
Who will be in The Traitors finale?
At the time of writing, Josh Packham, Krissy Marsh, Tully Smyth, Keira Maguire, Rhys Nicholson and Kirby are still in the running to win the show. However, according to the TV guide, four contestants will go into the grand finale. That likely means that one contestant will be banished and another murdered in The Traitors episode that airs on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
How is the winner of The Traitors Australia 2026 decided?
The endgame of The Traitors is a little more complex than most reality shows. Rather than having one clear-cut winner, multiple contestants can walk away victorious — but only if they’re all on the same team.
To win as a Faithful, contestants must survive until the end and successfully banish every remaining Traitor. Any Faithful players left after all the Traitors have been removed share the accumulated prize money.
However, if even one Traitor remains undetected at the end, the Traitor can claim the prize instead. This means contestants must decide whether to end the game or continue banishing players if they suspect an enemy is still among them. The Traitors must build trust, misdirect suspicion and sometimes sacrifice one of their own to avoid being exposed.
What does the winner of The Traitors get?
Throughout the season, the Traitors and Faithfuls compete in challenges to build up the prize pot, which sits at $125,500 as of Episode 10. The total amount will either be awarded to one person, or split between multiple winners, depending on the outcome of the finale.
The Traitors Australia 2026 finale airs on September 9 at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
