The Melbourne Storm and the Brisbane Broncos are set to lock horns in the Grand Final of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at Accor Stadium.

Melbourne have earned their shot at redemption after cruising past the Sharks in their preliminary final at AAMI Park. The Storm are no strangers to the big stage, appearing in their sixth decider in ten seasons, and they’ll be eager to make amends for last year’s heartbreak. With a near-identical lineup to the one that fell short in 2024, Craig Bellamy’s squad carries both experience and unfinished business into this year’s finale.

Brisbane, on the other hand, sealed their place in dramatic fashion, overturning a 14-point deficit to dethrone the Panthers in a thrilling semi-final. Guided by veteran halfback Adam Reynolds and powered by Payne Haas up front, the Broncos showed resilience and class to reach their first Grand Final in a decade. Their stirring run sets up a mouth-watering clash between two of the NRL’s most powerful clubs on the biggest stage of all.
