My Reno Rules has made its debut on Channel Seven 2026 and is tipped to be the biggest giveaway in Australian TV history.
The show will see four hardworking Aussie teams go head-to-head to give two rundown homes a drastic upgrade in Melbourne, which are purchased by billionaire Adrian Portelli.
The series premiered on April 21, and since then, the prize for the contestants has got even bigger.
Find out more about it below.
How does My Reno Rules work?
The teams will be scored by former The Block judge Neale Whitaker, top buyer’s agent Simon Cohen, and interior design expert Julia Green.
Initially, the team with the most points overall was going to score $100,000, but now, that’s increased tenfold.
Now, the winners will receive a staggering $1 million, and the team that comes second will pocket $250,000.
During the show’s live finale, two Aussies will also receive a call saying they’ve won a renovated, multi-million-dollar home through a live prize draw.
In order to win, Aussies need to join Adrian Portelli’s subscription-based rewards club, LMCT+, or be current members. The minimum entry is $10 via credit card. Per the platform’s website, entries close on June 2.
If you’re called, you need to answer the phone in three minutes; otherwise, it will get redrawn.
At the time of publication, people in South Australia cannot enter, due to “current regulations”.
Where are the houses located in My Reno Rules?
Four teams will go head-to-head to upgrade the two run-down homes Adrian bought in Bulleen, in Melbourne.
Who is the billionaire in My Reno Rules?
In November 2024, New Idea exclusively revealed that Adrian Portelli was in talks of joining a show on a rival network, and then in July 2025, that was made official when it was confirmed that Adrian’s business LMCT+ would be the show’s principal sponsor.
For Adrian, it was a no-brainer to join the Channel Seven show.
“LMCT+ has always been about changing the lives of everyday Australians, so when this opportunity came up with Seven, it just felt right,” he said in a press release when the news was first announced.
“For me, it’s about giving back – and doing it in a way that’s big, bold and exciting.
“These homes are in a beautiful area and have real potential. With the right teams and vision, they’re going to be incredible. I can’t wait to be part of a show granting lucky Aussies a brand-new future, and inspiring thousands more along the way.”
“Bet my high school teachers never thought… I’D HAVE MY OWN TV SHOW ON CHANNEL 7!” he also said on Instagram at the time.
“The Reno games are looking a little dusty. Time for a fresh coat 👷♂️ The gloves are off,” he added.
In the teaser, he said he had high expectations and wanted to shake things up during the show.
This comes after the business mogul confirmed he would never return to The Block.
While he confirmed in 2024 that he wasn’t returning, host Scott Cam recently told Fitzy and Wippa that they had asked him to come back. However, he also told outlets that his absence would allow others to buy the homes.
“Scott, you’re talking porkies,” Adrian responded on his Instagram stories with a screenshot of a Yahoo! article. “I told you guys I was leaving. There was never a conversation of being told to sit out of this season.”
He then said the houses on The Block were “hyped up” and “over-valued”.
Who is hosting My Reno Rules?
Dancing with the Stars host Dr Chris Brown is hosting the series.
“The term ‘life-changing’ can get thrown around a lot on TV, but this is absolutely that. Imagine winning a brand-new home – that’s going to be the reality for two lucky Aussies,” he said in a statement when the news was first announced.
“And if you’re a passionate renovator, you could also win a massive cash prize.”
“With the dream of owning your own home still top of the list for most Aussies, I can’t wait to have a front row seat to that becoming a reality. It’s going to be a heartwarming ride!”
He also said the contestants are what make the show special.
“The contestants make a show like My Reno Rules and I truly adore ours,” he said.
“They NEED this. All for really beautiful reasons. And by pouring their heart, soul and even some tears into every room, you just know it’s never going to be dull.”
You can watch My Reno Rules every Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.30pm on Channel Seven and Seven Plus.
