What Time Is The Block On Tonight? Wednesday 23 September: 7.31pm, Last Build Night Before Monday's Reveal

Sydney and Melbourne listings. Brisbane, Canberra and Hobart share the clock; Adelaide and Darwin are half an hour behind.

Bottom line: The Block is on tonight at 7.31pm AEST on Nine and 9Now, and it's the last Block of the week. Episode 32 closes out the Rumpus and Laundry build, runs about 75 minutes, and there's nothing judged until Monday.

What time is The Block on tonight?

7.31pm on Nine, straight out of A Current Affair. Nine's Sydney guide has it finishing at 8.47pm, which lines up with the 75-minute slot on the episode listing.

Melbourne gets a 7.30pm start and a slightly earlier handover to Travel Guides at about 8.45pm. If you're outside the eastern states, our capital city times guide has Adelaide, Darwin and Perth. That changes again from 4 October, when daylight saving splits Brisbane off from Sydney.

What's happening on The Block tonight?

Night three of the build, and Nine's listing leans into the arguments. Partners disagree over design calls, and the five teams are chasing a luxe finish on two rooms while still delivering on Scotty's community challenge from earlier in the week.

It's worth keeping the stakes in proportion. Rumpus and Laundry pays $10,000 at the reveal, a tenth of what Kitchen Week handed Adam and Jolene. Tuesday's file covers how the week started, and Monday's has the room brief.

Is there a Block reveal tonight?

No. Tonight is build only, so no scores, no winners and no cash. The Rumpus and Laundry Reveal is on Monday 28 September at 7.30pm in a 90-minute slot.

That's a day later than it would normally be. Nine has the Wallabies v Springboks Test in the 7.00pm Sunday hour, which pushed the reveal back — we explained the shuffle in why there's no Block this Sunday.

Who's winning The Block so far?

Adam and Jolene lead on 175 by our count, with Courtney and Sev two behind on 173. Lisa and Rosco sit third on 160½ — a 14½-point gap that one room can't close on its own.

Two rooms go to the judges on Monday. A clean sweep is worth up to 60 points, so tonight's footage is the last look at who's rushing. Scores from the last big reveal are in our Kitchen Week results.

Is The Voice on tonight?

No. Seven runs Home and Away at 7.00pm, then The 1% Club UK at 7.30pm and a Dennis Cometti documentary at 8.30pm. The Voice has been a Sunday-Monday show all finals.

The Grand Finale is Sunday 27 September at 7.00pm, with The 60Four, Yung Milla, Daisha Auda and Tommy Novak left. Our Voice finals guide has the coaches and how the vote works.

Is The Block on Thursday?

No, and not Friday, Saturday or Sunday either. Wednesday is the end of the Block week, so tonight's episode is the one to catch before Monday.

The full seven nights are laid out in this week's reality line-up. 9Now puts tonight's episode up after broadcast, and Nine has been re-running the previous night's Block at noon; the Block viewing guide explains the catch-up, and every night of the season is archived in order.
