Teddy Swims to headline NRL grand final
Teddy Swims, with over nine billion streams and a nine-time platinum hit, will launch his Australia and New Zealand tour at the NRL and NRLW Grand Final.
- On September 10, 2025, the NRL announced via social media that Teddy Swims will headline the 2025 NRL and NRLW Grand Final at Accor Stadium on October 5, 2025.
- NRL officials pointed to Teddy Swims' Grammy‑nominated status and over nine billion streams, saying his global appeal aligns with the league's goal to expand rugby league internationally.
- Swims will also begin his 12 arena shows tour next month, with Aussie artist Matt Corby supporting, following weeks of rumours before NRL announced it Wednesday.
