We've reached the pointy end of the NRL season, as the best of the best fight it out for the premiership.

But before anyone gets to lift that trophy, first we have to decide who had the best season, with the 2023 Dally M awards taking place tonight. 

Will Shaun Johnson ride the 'Up the Wahs' mania to a win, can Payne Haas receive a pre-grand final boost, or will someone else slip through and claim the title?

Fans will have to tune in to find out, but where can they watch it?

What channel is the Dally M awards on?

Free-to-air fans are out of luck, with this year's event being broadcast live and exclusively on Fox League.

The event will also be streaming on Kayo Sports.

What time does the Dally M start?

Coverage of the 2023 Dally M awards will kick off with the red carpet special from 7.30pm on Fox League and Kayo.

The ceremony itself begins a half hour later, at 8pm AEST. 

Who will win the Dally M award?

Shaun Johnson is the red-hot favourite to take out this year's award, with the Warriors halfback winding back the clock to lead his side to an unlikely top-four spot.

Payne Haas sat atop the voting as it went behind closed doors, with the likes of Nathan Cleary, Harry Grant and defending champion Nicho Hynes not far behind the Broncos prop.
