When does The Block 2025 start? Official air date announced

For Block fans around Australia, it’s an exciting time of year – Nine has just announced the first episode’s air date, which means it’s not long until new Blockheads grace our screens.

When does The Block start in 2025?

The Block 2025 will premiere at 7.30pm on Sunday, July 27, on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Excitement is building in the town of Daylesford, where the show is set, especially since the release of the first promotional teaser in late June.

“Now that the TV campaign has started with the ‘coming soon’ teasers, there’s definitely a buzz around town,” says local business owner Liam Thornycroft.

“I know many locals are particularly excited to watch this season unfold.”

Why The Block property expert Alice Stolz loves the lead-up to air date

For Domain property editor Alice Stolz, the pre-show countdown never gets old.

“I always love the lead-up to The Block: the weeks where people are dying to know who, what, where and when!”

While she can’t reveal any tidbits about the Daylesford season, she’s spent plenty of time on set and says the anticipation is palpable.

“The cafes, pubs and local shops have been such great sports, embracing the attention and sharing their beautiful town with contestants, tradies and cameras,” she says.

Stolz has visited the area for much of her life and calls Daylesford “one of the most gorgeous spots in all of Victoria”.

When did The Block 2025 start filming?

The Block started filming in March this year and wrapped up its 12-week shoot in early June.

According to Will Walton, principal agent and director at Belle Property Daylesford, the agency has received an “enormous” number of new buyer enquiries, especially over the past three to four weeks.

Walton’s team has a history of involvement with The Block: in the 2022 season, Natalie Fagan and Ashlee McKee were the listing agents for Tom and Sarah-Jane Calleja.

“We’re in that middle phase when we’ve said goodbye to all the builders and all the film crew, which has been a fantastic experience for our local economy,” Walton says.

“We are very highly anticipating the fantastic exposure that our town will receive, both nationally and also internationally, considering the show is so popular overseas.”

You can watch the show’s 21st season – including its 1000th episode – on Channel 9 and 9Now.
