When is The Block 2026 auction? Domain reports the five Mount Eliza auctions are scheduled to be filmed on Saturday 31 October 2026, with the finale airing on Sunday 1 November. Nine has not formally confirmed the broadcast time, so treat the dates as reported rather than official until it does.
Who won The Block 2026? Nobody yet. The auctions have not happened, so there is no winner to report. This page is where the result will land on the night: sale prices, profit over reserve for each team, and the winning house. Bookmark it, because it is updated live.
The five houses and their reserves
Every house carries the same reserve of $3,450,000, according to Domain and TV Central (16 October 2026). That sits below the $3.6 million to $3.9 million price guides. Our reserve prices explainer has the detail, and the Victorian reserve price law explains why the figures were public before the auction.

| House 1 | Adam and Jolene (red) | 2 Mackillop Place | $3,450,000 | To come | To come |

How the winner is decided
The Block is won by the team that makes the most money over its reserve once the hammer falls. Prize money won during the season comes off the reserve, which is why room reveal wins and challenge prizes matter so much. House One, for example, banked $50,000 from the Domain buyers jury challenge (see the episode 36 recap), and Bunnings is offering $50,000 off the reserve for the best garden (see the gardens page).
Who won what along the way
If you are after a specific room reveal or challenge result rather than the final winner, every episode recap names the winner and the score. Start with the Block 2026 hub, or see the house listings in every listing, agent and 3D tour.
