The biggest day of the biggest season in Rugby League's history will be supercharged by a performance by GRAMMY® nominated, multi-platinum chart-topping global superstar Teddy Swims.
The National Rugby League (NRL) today announced that Teddy Swims will headline the 2025 NRL and NRLW Grand Final Entertainment, presented by Instax.
His performance at the NRL and NRLW Grand Final, at Accor Stadium on Sunday, October 5, will launch his sold-out arena tour of Australia and New Zealand.
Teddy Swims has had a monumental year with record-breaking songs, sold out global tours, and iconic performances with his genre-blending voice.
His latest album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) gathers up new music alongside all of the songs from Swims' record-breaking I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) and (Part 2), which included the powerful singles, "Bad Dreams," "Guilty," "Are You Even Real" with GIVĒON, "The Door," and "Lose Control."
The latter has become a 9x Platinum hit with nearly 4 billion global streams and now holds the record for the longest Hot 100 run in history and is still sitting on the charts over 100 weeks later. With more than nine billion streams across his catalogue, Swims has cemented his place as one of music's breakout stars.
National Rugby League CEO Andrew Abdo said Teddy Swims was a unique performer whose global appeal would resonate with fans on the biggest sporting stage.
"Teddy Swims is one of the most exciting music talents in the world, making him the perfect performer for the NRL Grand Final day," Mr Abdo said.

"Grand Final day is a special event on the sporting calendar, capturing moments that last forever.
"Including a fresh superstar like Teddy Swims alongside some of the best male and female athletes in the world will take the entertainment experience for sports fans to a whole new level."
Teddy Swims said: "I am so excited to be performing at the 2025 NRL Grand Final! Australia has always been a second home to me. Every time I am there I am overwhelmed by how welcoming the people are, I fall more in love with the culture, and just everything about it. So, to be welcomed to perform one of the biggest nights in Australia is a huge honour."
