2026 Dally M Awards

Uncommon card · No. 186495

The 2026 Dally M Awards were presented on 30 September 2026. They are the official annual awards of the National Rugby League and are named after Dally Messenger. The voting process remained unchanged from the previous season; two judges each award six points per regular season match, split between three players with the best player receiving three points. The maximum votes a player could receive per match is six. Players given a one-game suspension received a six-point deduction, while players suspended for two or more games remained ineligible to receive any awards. Penrith Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary won his first Dally M Medal, while Brisbane Broncos fullback Tamika Upton won her third Dally M Medal after previously winning in 2023 and 2025. Cleary was the first Penrith player to win the award since Greg Alexander won in 1985.
