What Time Is The Block On Tonight? Tuesday 6 October: Outdoor Terrace and Pool Week Begins
Short version:
- Yes, The Block is on Nine and 9Now on Tuesday 6 October at 7.30pm AEDT. It's a new episode, the first night of Outdoor Terrace and Pool Week.
- There's no judging on Tuesday. The scores for the terraces and pools come on Sunday 11 October at 7.00pm.
- Nine's guide gives the episode 77 minutes, so it's done before 9.00pm.
What time is The Block on tonight?
7.30pm AEDT on Nine for the Tuesday 6 October episode. Nine's yourTV guide for Sydney has it starting at 7.31pm and running 77 minutes, which puts the finish at about 8.48pm. TVmaze lists the same episode at 7.30pm with the same running time.
That's Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart time. Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia didn't change clocks on Sunday 4 October, and Nine schedules some of those markets locally. Our capital city times guide goes through each one.
Is The Block new tonight, or a repeat?
New. Both guides list Tuesday 6 October as season 22, episode 38, a first-run episode. If you miss it, yourTV shows a daytime replay of episode 38 on Nine at 12.00pm on Wednesday 7 October, and the episode goes to 9Now after broadcast.
What happens on The Block on Tuesday 6 October?
The build moves outside. Nine titles the episode Outdoor Terrace and Pool Week, and its synopsis says the teams are upset after Monday night's results before host Scott Cam turns up with a surprise that lifts their spirits. Nine doesn't say what the surprise is.
Monday's episode was the Kids Room and Re-Do Room Reveal, pushed back a day by the NRL Grand Final. The scores from that night are on our 5 October results page, and Monday's rundown explains why the reveal moved.

Thursday 8 October, episode 40, is about tiles and time: the listing says Tayla finds out someone else has used her pool tiles, and the teams are struggling with how much they have to get done.
When is the next room reveal on The Block?
Sunday 11 October at 7.00pm AEDT. Nine lists it as the Outdoor Terrace and Pool Reveal, a 100-minute episode with $10,000 for the winning team. It's back in the regular Sunday slot after two weeks where sport took it, which we covered in the Grand Final Sunday explainer.
