Australian Reality TV Next Week (21–27 September, 2026): Block Reveal Moves, Voice Final
Nine has three new Block nights next week and Seven has the end of The Voice. Here is Monday 21 to Sunday 27 September as the broadcasters have it filed on Monday morning.
| Day | Date | AEST | Channel / stream | What's on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 21 Sep | 7.30pm | Nine / 9Now | The Block, Rumpus and Laundry Week (75 min) |
| Tuesday | 22 Sep | 7.30pm | Nine / 9Now | The Block, Rumpus and Laundry Week day 2 (70 min) |
| Wednesday | 23 Sep | 7.30pm | Nine / 9Now | The Block, Rumpus and Laundry Week day 3 (75 min) |
| Thursday | 24 Sep | — | — | No new Block or Voice episode listed |
| Friday | 25 Sep | — | — | Nothing new from the shows we track |
| Saturday | 26 Sep | — | — | Nothing new from the shows we track |
| Sunday | 27 Sep | 7.00pm | Nine / 9Now | Test Rugby: Wallabies v Springboks (live) — no Block |
| Sunday | 27 Sep | 7.00pm | Seven / 7plus | The Voice Australia, Grand Finale |
| Monday | 28 Sep | 7.30pm | Nine / 9Now | The Block, Rumpus and Laundry Reveal (90 min) |
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Hobart clock times. Adelaide and Darwin sit 30 minutes behind; Nine's Perth feed is scheduled locally.
The gist: The Block builds on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.30pm AEST, then reveals two rooms on Monday 28 September at 7.30pm. The Voice ends with its Grand Finale at 7.00pm on Sunday 27 September. Big Brother is still just "October".
What's on The Block next week?
Four episodes, all on Nine, and a new room pairing. Monday starts Rumpus and Laundry Week, a double build that Nine's own synopsis says pushes the teams "to their limits" before Scotty Cam drops in a challenge.
Tuesday's listing is blunter: teamwork is not always the dream work, and the teams have to deliver two rooms while giving something back to the community. Wednesday adds design arguments, with Nine billing this lot as the most competitive Blockheads yet chasing a luxe finish.
Monday 28 September is where it lands. The Rumpus and Laundry Reveal runs 90 minutes from 7.30pm, a longer episode than any of the build nights, with $10,000 on the two rooms. If you want the run-up, our Wednesday night file from Kitchen Week has the scores and the $100,000 twist, and the full Block archive has each night in order.
What time does each Block episode finish?
Nine has filed the episodes at 75, 70 and 75 minutes for the three build nights, and 90 minutes for the reveal that has moved to Monday 28 September. Doing the arithmetic:
- Monday 21 Sep — 7.30pm to about 8.45pm
- Tuesday 22 Sep — 7.30pm to about 8.40pm
- Wednesday 23 Sep — 7.30pm to about 8.45pm
- Sunday 27 Sep — 7.00pm to about 8.40pm
That is 3 hours 40 minutes of Block inside the week itself, with the reveal now sitting just outside it. Four nights, nothing else new.
Live broadcasts slip when news or sport runs over, so read those finish times as Nine's intention rather than a guarantee. The nightly starting times have held all season, which is more than the back half of the schedule can say.
Is The Voice on next week?
Yes, and it finishes. Seven confirmed on Monday that The Voice Australia's Grand Finale airs at 7.00pm on Sunday 27 September on Seven and 7plus, which fills the gap the guide providers had left blank all weekend.
Four artists are left after Sunday's semi-final: The 60Four for Ronan Keating, Yung Milla for Melanie C, Daisha Auda for Kate Miller-Heidke and Tommy Novak for Richard Marx. One per coach, $100,000 and a recording package for the winner. Our Voice finals page tracks the run.
When is The Voice Australia grand final?
Sunday 27 September, 7.00pm AEST. Seven's published listing for that slot still reads TBA, which is normal for a live finale whose running time isn't locked, but the network and both trade outlets have the date and the time.
It lands opposite the rugby on Nine rather than opposite a Block reveal, because Nine moved the reveal to the Monday. That was the clash we flagged on Saturday, and it's now off.
Has Big Brother got a start date yet?
October, and nothing tighter than that. Network 10 confirmed the return in a promo that Variety Australia and Mediaweek both wrote up in early September, with a new house in Brisbane and Mel Tracina hosting.
No premiere date, no housemates, no nights. The 2025 season ran Sunday to Friday at 7.30pm, and that is precedent rather than an announcement — worth knowing, not worth planning around. Details as they stand are in our Big Brother 2026 guide, and the longer view is in our 2027 line-up rundown.
Which nights have nothing new?
Thursday 24, Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September. Nine gives Thursday and Friday over to news and A Current Affair, and Seven stacks three Home and Away episodes at 7.00pm on Thursday. On Sunday 27 the reality slot belongs to Seven: The Voice Grand Finale at 7.00pm, with Nine on the rugby and 10 running Gogglebox Australia at 7.30pm.
The quiz hour does not take the week off, though. Five-o'clock and seven-o'clock slots run every weeknight on Seven, Nine and 10 — our sister site's guide to 10's Deal or No Deal and Hot Seat hour covers that block. For comparison with this week, see our 14–20 September guide.
Where can you stream all of it?
The Block goes up on 9Now, free, generally within an hour of the broadcast finishing, and past episodes of the season sit there too. The Voice lives on 7plus, and Big Brother will land on 10Play when it starts.
None of the three needs a paid subscription — an account and an email address is the whole cost. If you are working out which nights matter in your state, our Block nights and times guide breaks the schedule down state by state.
FAQ
Is The Block on every night next week?
No. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday only, with the reveal following on Monday 28 September. Thursday to Sunday have no new Block episode.
What time is The Block in Adelaide and Perth?
Adelaide and Darwin run 30 minutes behind the eastern clock, so 7.30pm AEST is 7.00pm there. Perth is scheduled by Nine's WA feed rather than a straight two-hour subtraction, so check the local guide.
Does daylight saving change any of this?
Not next week. NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT move to daylight saving on Sunday 4 October, and from that date Brisbane sits an hour behind the eastern clock.
