The Australian Rugby League Commission has announced the 2024 NRL and NRLW grand finals will be played in Sydney.
The ARLC and the NSW government went public with the news on Monday morning, hours after the season launched in Las Vegas.
The men's and women's premiership deciders will be played on Sunday, October 6 at Accor Stadium in Olympic Park.

"NSW is the home of the NRL and there is no better city in the world to host another incredible grand final showdown," state premier Chris Minns said.
"The NRL grand final is one of our country's greatest annual sporting events and I can't wait for a whole new generation of footy fans to get to experience it right here in NSW."
ARLC chairman Peter V'landys has previously threatened to take the game's big dance away from Sydney and host it in Queensland.
But he's moved to lock the 2024 venue in early, eradicating the need for debate throughout the season.
"Confirming the 2024 grand final will be held in Sydney provides certainty to NRL clubs, sponsors and broadcasters — but most importantly of all, it's exciting news for NRL fans," V'landys said.

"The NRL and NRLW premiership seasons will culminate at Accor Stadium on 6 October — and we can't wait to watch it unfold."
The NRL season began on Sunday with the double header in Vegas, where the Sea Eagles and Roosters scored wins.
