It's the big day and the 2023 NRL Grand Final is between the Panthers and Broncos – you can watch it live.
The Penrith Panthers won their third minor premiership in 4 years and as the defending premiers will be looking to be the first team to win 3 back-to-back titles since the Eels 40 years ago.
The Brisbane Broncos meanwhile, after fading at the end of last season and missing the finals, had a resurgent 2023. They finished equal on points with the Panthers but were second on the ladder and have now made their first NRL Grand Final since 2015.
How to watch the 2023 NRL Grand Final live
There are only 2 ways to watch the 2023 NRL Grand Final live: On free-to-air TV on the Nine Network or via its streaming service 9Now.

You can watch NRL for free on free-to-air TV on the Nine Network or stream via 9Now. These are only selected matches though and they will have ads screening during the game. You are also able to watch for free if you sign up for Foxtel Now and take advantage of its free trial for new users.

Hi, regarding live streaming NRL games live, I notice on a different website the tablet needs to b a certain size and brand, is this true? Or as long as it’s running Android 4.2 or above? I’m not a Telstra customer…can I live stream the games with Wi-Fi at home without maxing out my data? Cheers
Thanks for your question. You don’t need a specific brand of tablet to stream NRL games live, though the tablet must be less than 7 inches in size (measured diagonally across the screen).
If you’re streaming games on your home Wi-Fi connection, the average match is going to use up approximately 900MB of data if you’re on a tablet, and approximately 400MB of data on a smaller phone. Whether this will max out your data will depend on how large your home broadband data cap is.
