The Block 2026 Auction Results, Sunday 1 November: Courtney and Sev Win $1.87 Million
Short version:
- Courtney and Sev won The Block 2026 on Sunday 1 November: their House 4 sold for $4.72 million, $1.27 million over the $3.45 million reserve.
- With the $100,000 winners' prize and the new $500,000 Scotty's Prize Pool, their total came to $1.87 million in cash and prizes.
- All five Mount Eliza houses sold, and the five teams made $3.547 million in profit between them by our sum of the published figures.
The auction aired from 7.00pm AEDT on Nine and 9Now. TVmaze lists the episode, "The Block Auction", at 116 minutes. Big Brother's live eviction ran on Ten in that same 7.00pm hour, a 70-minute slot in TVmaze's listing. Our auction date guide has the earlier seasons' auction dates.
Who won The Block 2026 auction?
Courtney and Sev, the site manager and interior designer from Queensland. Both TV Tonight and TV Blackbox report the same House 4 numbers: sold for $4.72 million, a $1.27 million profit on the reserve. Add the winners' prize and the Prize Pool and TV Tonight puts their haul at $1,870,000.
That beats every earlier winner on TV Tonight's list of results since 2003. The previous top figure on it is $1,750,000 for Steph and Gian at Hampton East in 2023, then $1,686,666.66 for Omar and Oz in 2022. Last year, Britt and Taz took home $520,000 from Daylesford. Scott Cam said it was "a great result", and executive producer Julian Cress called the day a hundred per cent clearance rate.
| House | Team | Sold for | Profit over $3.45m reserve |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Courtney & Sev | $4.72m | $1,270,000 |
| 5 | Rick & Tayla | $4.355m | $905,000 |
| 3 | Lisa & Rosco | $4.0m | $550,000 |
| 1 | Adam & Jolene | $3.905m | $455,000 |
| 2 | Chantel & Wyatt | $3.817m | $367,000 |
Both outlets agree on every row. The profit column is the sale price minus the $3.45 million reserve, and it matches the figures in each report. Adding the five profits gives $3,547,000, in line with TV Blackbox's "more than $3.5 million in combined profits".
How did the other four auctions go?
Rick and Tayla made the second-biggest profit, $905,000 on House 5. Lisa and Rosco's House 3 went for $4 million after what TV Blackbox calls a marathon auction of more than 40 minutes and over 100 bids. Adam and Jolene's House 1 made $455,000, and Chantel and Wyatt's House 2 brought $367,000, the smallest profit of the five and still a gain.
TV Tonight notes that a new Victorian rule made all five reserves public a week before the auction, and the houses still sold. TV Blackbox says the result was a turnaround after Daylesford's auction in 2025.
How did the room reveals decide it?
TV Blackbox reports that Courtney and Sev finished the season with 317.25 room reveal points, the most of any team, and won six of the 12 reveals. We haven't re-added that total ourselves, because we didn't log every week this season. Our own write-ups are here for two of them: the Kids Room and Re-Do reveal, where Courtney and Sev scored 30, and the terrace and pool reveal, which Adam and Jolene won on 29.
How many people watched the auction?
TV Tonight's preliminary figure for Sunday 1 November is 1.93 million viewers nationally. That topped the night's viewing, but it's below the like-for-like numbers it gives for earlier auctions: 2.39 million in 2025 and 2.19 million in 2024. Seven won the night, with the Rugby League World Cup at 1.5 million. These are preliminary overnight numbers and TV Tonight says the post updates, so the final figure may move.
Is The Block back this week?
Not in Nine's slot. TVmaze's Australian listing for Monday 2 November has no Block episode in it (checked Monday 2 November, about 9.55pm AEDT), which fits TV Blackbox calling the auction this year's finale. Our how-to-watch guide covers where past episodes sit on 9Now, and the 2027 reality line-up lists what is announced for 2027. For Ten's weeknight series, see Big Brother Australia 2026. Earlier episode guides, such as Wednesday 14 October and the NRL Grand Final gap, are still up under The Block.
