One Isuzu UTE A-League Men\u2019s match per week will be broadcast live and free-to-air on Network 10, with marquee games broadcast on Network 10\u2019s primary channel, 10.<\/p>\n
All Ninja A-League Women\u2019s matches will be available live on Paramount+, with every game also broadcast live and free on 10 Streaming. The partnership also includes ten women\u2019s matches shown live and free-to-air on 10 Drama each season, including the Grand Final.<\/p>\n
Fans on Paramount+ will also have access to minis, highlights and replays of every Isuzu UTE A-League Men\u2019s and Ninja A-League Women\u2019s match. <\/p>\n
Network 10 will also continue to host their pre-game show, Football Tonight, ahead of every Isuzu UTE A-League free-to-air match, while A-Leagues\u2019 popular Total A-Leagues and DubZone shows will now be available on 10 Streaming.<\/p>\n
The three-year agreement, taking the total partnership to eight years, signifies the aligned vision and growth prospects of the A-Leagues and Paramount ANZ. <\/p>\n
The new partnership also encompasses an increased annual rights fee, a joint commitment to increase marketing and promotion initiatives, and expand the accessibility of A-Leagues\u2019 content in pubs and clubs.<\/p>\n
Steve Rosich, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Professional Leagues, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter an extensive open market process which showcased the demand and value of the A-Leagues, we\u2019re really pleased to renew our partnership with Paramount+ and Network 10 \u2013 the home of Australian football.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe process highlighted that Paramount+ and Network 10 provide us with, not just a commercial growth outcome, but the most free-to-air exposure to the alternate offerings, with Paramount+ providing reach and an affordable streaming service for football fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe extension of this partnership cements our combined ambitions to grow our audiences, and realise the potential of the A-Leagues.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really pleased to make this announcement in the lead up to the Isuzu UTE A-League 2026 Grand Final, an historic moment for the league with the first Grand Final on New Zealand soil \u2013 which is a sell out, following two sold out Semi Finals in Adelaide and Newcastle last weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adam Cush, Director of Sport, Paramount Australia and New Zealand, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the Australian Professional Leagues and to build on the strong foundation we have established together.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe A-Leagues\u2019 future in this country is bright, and we are determined to play our part in expanding its reach, growing its audience and giving football the platform it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n
The A-Leagues has set streaming records since the partnership with Paramount+ began. Viewing is at record levels in the 2025\/26 season, up 55% since the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n
Across Paramount+ and Network 10, the A-League season has already reached 4 million Australians on streaming and broadcast TV, ahead of the Finals Series.<\/p>\n
Paramount+ subscription plans start from $7.99 per month or from $70.99 for an annual subscription.<\/p>\n
The 2026\/27 Isuzu UTE A-League and Ninja A-League seasons will kick off on 16 October, 2026.<\/p>\n
