NRL CEO hints at possible shift for 2027 grand final location

NRL CEO Peter V'Landys indicated Sydney may not host the 2027 grand final, with ongoing discussions for the event's future. The current agreement with New South Wales expires at the end of 2026, and factors include a major event in Sydney that year, which could strain resources. V'Landys noted that hosting in Brisbane offers better commercial viability despite fewer seats. Various state governments, including Queensland, are vying for the event. A timeline for the final decision has not yet been determined.
