Sylvia Jeffreys and Tom Steinfort to host Today

Nine has named Sylvia Jeffreys and Tom Steinfort as the new co-hosts of Today, confirming the pair will lead the breakfast program into 2027.

The appointments follow Sarah Abo’s decision to leave both Today and Nine at year's end. Abo joined Karl Stefanovic at the desk in January 2023 and has co-hosted the program for four years.

Her departure came shortly after Stefanovic exited Nine immediately amid a dispute involving his independent podcast business, leaving the network to rebuild its flagship breakfast line-up.

Jeffreys and Steinfort will now front a broader shake-up of Nine’s morning television schedule, with changes to Today’s format, pace and commercial integrations set to be unveiled at the Nine 2027 Upfront.

Nine said the decision followed extensive research into breakfast television, viewer behaviour and audience feedback.

The pair bring a combined four decades of experience across journalism and television presenting, with previous roles spanning 60 Minutes, 9News, Today and Today Extra.
