Quick answer: yes, The Block is on at 7.30pm AEST tonight on Nine and 9Now. It's episode 28, Kitchen Week Day 3, and the last Block before Sunday.
| Date | AEST | Channel | What's on | Length |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wed 16 Sep | 7.30pm | Nine / 9Now | The Block, E28: Kitchen Week Day 3 | 70 min |
| Thu 17 – Sat 19 Sep | — | — | No Block, no Voice | — |
| Sun 20 Sep | 7.00pm | Nine / 9Now | The Block, E29: Kitchen Reveal | 100 min |

Two things jump out of that table. Thursday to Saturday is empty for both shows, and on Sunday they start at exactly the same minute on rival networks.
What time is The Block on tonight?
Both guides we checked put the Sydney start at 7.31pm, so switching over at 7.30pm is safe. It's a 70-minute slot, which means a finish around 8.40pm.
Brisbane keeps Sydney's clock until daylight saving starts on Sunday 4 October. Elsewhere, Nine's local stations set the time, and 9Now's guide shows the listing for your area.
What happens on The Block tonight?
The listing packs three things in. Shelley helps Tayla with her styling, Sev gets some good news, and there are "100,000 reasons to win Kitchen week".
That figure lines up with Sunday's listing, which says the judges will decide who takes $100,000 for their kitchen. It matters most for Rick and Tayla, whose 17 for the guest suite left them last on the tally in Tuesday's results post.
Who's leading The Block before the kitchen reveals?
Courtney and Sev in House 4, on 145½ points over six weeks. Adam and Jolene are half a point back on 145, with Chantel and Wyatt on 137 and Lisa and Rosco on 132.
Rick and Tayla are on 122½. By our maths that's a 23-point spread from first to last before a single kitchen has been scored.
Is The Voice on tonight?
No. Seven wrapped the quarter-finals on Monday and has nothing listed until Semi Final 1, Sunday 20 September at 7.00pm, in a two-hour slot.
So Sunday is a straight fight with the Kitchen Reveal. The Block should end around 8.40pm and The Voice closer to 9.00pm. Grand final timing lives in our Voice finals guide.
Can I catch up on The Block?
Yes. 9Now puts each episode on demand after it airs; it's free but needs a login. IceTV also shows tonight's episode repeating on Nine at 1.30pm Sunday, handy before the reveal.
If you missed Day 2, yesterday's guide has it. Start times by state are in how to watch The Block 2026, and every nightly post sits on our Block page.
