Fox Footy

Fox Footy, on Kayo Sports and Foxtel, is the only place to watch every match of every AFL and AFLW round LIVE in 2025.

Following a record-breaking 2024 AFL season, which was the most-watched ever across Foxtel Group platforms, Fox Footy’s enhanced coverage in 2025 will give Australians more choice than ever before.

Every game of the 2025 AFL season before the Grand Final will be live, in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play, featuring new commentary and graphics, on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.

Fox Footy’s star-studded line up of commentators and expert analysts will be heard on every game, plus throughout the week on a range of entertainment and magazine shows bringing fans even closer to the game.

In 2025, Matt Hill and Mark Howard are the fresh voices of Thursday Night Footy, with Anthony Hudson and Gerard Whateley leading the call on Friday Night Footy.

They are joined by a cast of AFL greats providing cutting edge insights and analysis, including Jason Dunstall, Garry Lyon, Nathan Buckley, Jonathan Brown, Jordan Lewis, and Leigh Montagna, with Sarah Jones hosting.

Super Saturday LIVE, hosted by Kath Loughnan, Jack Riewoldt and David King, is the new home of footy from the first bounce to the final siren on Saturdays. Fox Footy will be the only place to watch live AFL on a Saturday in Victoria every round of the home and away season, and nationally for at least the first eight rounds.

Fox Footy has also welcomed a host of new recruits, including Hall of Famer Leigh Matthews and AFL greats Shaun Burgoyne, Tom Hawkins and Adam Simpson to its cast in 2025.

Once again in 2025, every AFLW game including all Finals and the Grand Final, will be LIVE and with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo Sports, Foxtel and for the first time, on BINGE.

AFLW coverage will be led by Kelli Underwood OAM, Daniel Harford and Lauren Wood, with analysis provided by the likes of Hall of Famer Debbie Lee and AFLW legends Chyloe Kurdas and Kirby Bentley.

Fox Footy will once again lead discussion around the game every night of the week. AFL 360 will set the agenda, with Garry Lyon stepping into the co-hosting seat alongside Gerard Whateley from Monday to Wednesday from 6:30pm.

On The Couch returns every Monday at 7:30pm, with Jack Riewoldt hosting alongside Jonathan Brown, Nathan Buckley and Jordan Lewis, with guest appearances from Leigh Matthews.

Respected journalist Lauren Wood hosts Midweek Tackle on Tuesday from 7:30pm, with Corbin Middlemas joining the show and commentary team.

First Crack Preview comes to Wednesday nights from 7:30pm, with Ben Dixon, David King and Leigh Montagna analysing the key factors for the upcoming weekend’s footy. King and Montagna return alongside Jay Clark on Sunday nights for First Crack to set the agenda for the week ahead.

And once the weekend’s footy has wrapped up on Sunday, Bounce hosted by Jason Dunstall with Andrew Gaze, Cam Mooney, Ruby Schleicher, Ben Dixon and Bernie Vince will look at the lighter side of the game.

Plus, in 2025 Fox Footy is launching an all-new show, Footy Shorts – a fast-paced, family-friendly, half-hour series mixing player interviews, challenges, highlights and creator-made content. The show features regular appearances from Eddie Betts, Brad Johnson and Ruby Schleicher, as well as content creators Marmalade, Baseline Footy, Caden MacDonald, Shepmates, Cooper Hamilton and Jarra Davis and a host of current AFL and AFLW stars. The show will air on Thursday afternoons across Kayo Sports’ YouTube channel, Kayo Sports and Foxtel, with segments optimised for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts.
