The Block 2026 auction episode airs at 7pm on Channel 9.
See all the highs and lows of auction day and find out who will be crowned The Block 2026 winner.
Get to know the teams that are vying for a win tonight.
Adam and Jolene are cattle station managers from Roxby Downs in South Australia.
The married couple have five children between them from previous marriages.
The Block devotees have watched every episode, but it took almost a decade for Jolene to talk Adam into making an audition tape.
Chantel and Wyatt are from the Gold Coast in Queensland.
Chantel is a stay-at-home mum of three children and a business owner. She also has a Certificate IV in Building and Construction and is a qualified supervisor.
Her personal trainer partner, Wyatt, has no building experience of his own, but had watched the show as a teenager and encouraged Chantel to apply with him.
Lisa is a paramedic and registered nurse, while Rosco is a FIFO worker in the oil and gas industry.
The pair met nine years ago, have been married for four, and have a two-year-old son, Lando and welcomed baby Jude a week ago.
Lisa is a Block superfan who has long dreamed of being on the show. Rosco says, “It’s my job to support Lisa’s dreams”.
Courtney and Sev are best friends from Brisbane and have been mates for 12 years.
Sev is a commercial interior designer and has renovated two properties – a 1970s brick home and a 1920s Queenslander cottage.
Courtney has renovation experience and is a construction site manager, overseeing builds of universities, schools, hotels, resorts, shopping centres, bars and clubs.
Builder Rick is married to his wife, Michelle. Together they have twin daughters: Shannen and Tayla.
It took six years of trying before Rick made it onto the show.
“It is a dream I have wanted for so long. I have watched every episode, I just love it,” he says.
Tayla is a personal trainer and business owner, and mum to six-year-old son, Hendrix.
Britt and Taz won The Block in 2025, selling their Daylesford house for $3.41 million.
Sonny and Alicia came second and Robby and Mat came third. Emma and Ben and Han and Can’s houses passed in at auction.
House 1 is the first home on the left-hand side of the street and is one of three properties this season with ocean views.
Perched higher on the hill at what the show dubbed the “top end of town”, it enjoys a commanding outlook.
2 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza VIC 3930
Chantel and Wyatt have created a home with a neutral aesthetic that could win over buyers on auction day thanks to its broad market appeal and timeless style.
3 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza VIC 3930
House 3 embraces a relaxed coastal aesthetic, with cosy tones of rust and forest green setting it apart from the other homes.
Warm timber features appear throughout, creating a design story that connects with Mount Eliza’s treetop surroundings.
4 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza VIC 3930
Thanks to a series of clever floor plan changes, House 4 is highly functional multigenerational home.
As the first of the “downtown’ houses”, the property has partial water views but a bigger floor plan than the “uptown houses”.

House 5 sits on the largest block, spanning an impressive 1435 square metres and offers greater privacy and space.
It also benefits from a slightly different layout – similar to House 4 – thanks to the generous site. All four bedrooms are on the ground floor, with the main suite enjoying direct access to the pool deck.
10 Mackillop Place, Mount Eliza VIC 3930
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for me – it’s Block auction night! I can’t believe it’s almost time to call “tools down” on season 22 of the hit show.
The Block will air at 7pm tonight and we will see which team is crowned the winner in 2026.
The winner of The Block is the team whose house sells for the highest amount over the reserve price.
The winners receive $100,000 in prize money and get to keep the money they make over reserve. Plus, for the first time in Block history, the winners will also take home a Plungie prize pack worth $500,000.
