No, The Block auctions are not live: the auction generally happens on a Saturday, before being televised on Sunday night.
The official time for the 2026 Block auctions has not been confirmed. However, the time has been the same for the past five years of the show: 7pm. It’s safe to say we can expect to see the auction at a similar time.
When it’s time to watch the auctions, you can tune in the same way you’ve watched the rest of the 2026 season. You can watch The Block auctions on Channel 9 and 9Now.
This year, The Block’ s first episode premiered on Sunday, August 2.
No, The Block auctions have not taken place at the time of writing.
The Block’ s 2025 auction episode aired on Sunday, October 26.
Western Australia-based married couple Britt and Taz won The Block 2025 . It was one of the most disappointing seasons of The Block , with only three out of five homes selling under the hammer. However, Britt and Taz walked away with $520,000 in prize money, including the $100,000 winners’ prize.
Yes, Victoria’s new auction laws will impact this year’s Block auctions. Designed to stamp out underquoting, the laws took effect on October 1 and require vendors to disclose the reserve price seven days before auction. A transition grace period runs until October 16.
In past seasons, the reserve has been disclosed to contestants the day before the auction.
This season, The Block was set in the bayside village of Mount Eliza on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, about 50 kilometres south-east of Melbourne’s CBD.
Five luxurious new builds will be going under the hammer on auction day.
Husband-and-wife team Adam and Jolene of Roxby Downs, South Australia, built House 1.
According to their listing, every detail in the house “reflects a passion for timeless architecture, natural materials and enduring quality”.
“Inspired by its surroundings, warm textures, refined craftsmanship and contemporary design combine to create a residence where relaxed coastal living meets sophisticated modern comfort,” it says.
The pair have performed well so far this season, winning two rooms and the all-important Domain Buyers Jury Challenge .
Gold Coast couple Chantel and Wyatt have been the most controversial this season, in that they have not taken on much of the judges’ feedback, instead sticking to a minimalist palette throughout the home.
Because of this, they’re yet to win a room reveal.
However, they have created “a residence that brings together sophisticated design, considered functionality and the relaxed elegance of contemporary Mount Eliza living”, their listing says.
Married West Australian couple Lisa and Rosco took on House 3 and have had mixed results from the judges. They’ve had one room win, for their main bedroom , but have fallen just short on several occasions.
According to their listing, “House 3 by Lisa and Rosco presents a landmark residence with sweeping panoramic views across the sparkling waters of Port Phillip Bay.
“Meticulously crafted over two expansive levels, this contemporary masterpiece delivers an effortless balance of sophisticated family living and world-class entertaining.”
Best friends Courtney and Sev won the House Decider Challenge back in Week 1 and did a house swap with Lisa and Rosco, who originally had House 4.
Courtney and Sev have done well throughout the season, with their rooms much-loved by the judges and getting five room wins so far. However, that didn’t translate at the Domain Buyers Jury challenge , where they came last, with only 13 per cent of the potential buyers’ votes.
“House 4 combines an exceptional coastal location with considered architectural design. Offering an additional 50sqm of internal living compared with the upper homes, the residence features a functional floor plan, fully fenced and gated grounds, a private backyard and beach access.”
Father-daughter duo Rick and Tayla from Victoria took on House 5 and have struggled throughout the season, receiving negative feedback from the judges. They did, however, manage a room win in Week 4 for their main en suite.
House 5 sits on the largest block – 1435 square metres – and is the only property without an eastern neighbour.
According to their listing, “A prized northern rear aspect, uninterrupted eastern light and just one neighbouring boundary establish an outstanding foundation for a home of generous proportions and understated luxury.
“Its enduring appeal is carried through a classic family layout, with beautifully connected living and entertaining spaces, a private main suite and thoughtfully positioned guest accommodation.”
