Hit for a six with the summer of cricket

Summer 24/25 is jam-packed with cricket, so lovers of the sport will have plenty of reason to visit your sports bar or beer garden over the next few months. Some of the key highlights include the CommBank Women’s T20I and ODI Series, the highly anticipated Weber WBBL, and the thrilling Men’s ODI and T20I Series. Fans can catch the fast-paced action of the KFC BBL, along with the ultimate Test cricket showdown in the NRMA Insurance Men’s Test Series against India. And let’s not forget the highly anticipated CommBank Women’s Ashes Series.

Catch all the action on Foxtel and Seven.

The A-Leagues keep kicking goals

It’s football (or soccer) season in Australia, and the A-Leagues are under way. Catch all the action in in the Isuzu UTE A-League Mens and the Ninja A-League Womens competitions, as the action begins to ramp up. Will the Central Coast Mariners be crowned champions in the men’s comp again to make it a three-peat? Can Sydney FC do the same in the women’s comp? There’s a lot at stake in both competitions, and plenty of action – and goals – on the way.

Tune in on Paramount+ and Network Ten.

Nothing but net with US basketball

The NBA has been a big hit with Aussies for the last five years or so, and continues to attract new fans every year. It’s also a boon for the mid-morning and lunchtime trade, activating dayparts for clubs that otherwise wouldn’t see a lot of action.

Also a growing hit with Aussie audiences? The WNBA. The women’s league has seen a massive growth in popularity with the rise of stars like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Show both leagues and you’ve got double the captive audience.

Now showing on ESPN.

The Australian Open will keep you riveted

Tennis die-hards and casual fans alike will be keeping an eye on the Australian Open, one of  Australia’s premier international sporting tournaments. There will be plenty of nail-biters that go down to the wire in five sets – that’s a few hours of fun at least. Keep the after-dinner trade around for matches with new favourite Jannik Sinner, and women’s number one, Aryna Sabalenka, who will be looking to win her third Australian Open in a row.

Tune in from 6-26 January on Stan Sport and Nine.

The last big sporting event of the Summer here in Australia is the Super Bowl. Another US sport that has seen a massive growth in popularity here, the Super Bowl is an event that a lot of people will take the day off to watch – and what better way to do so than in a local club that is making a big deal of the match? And don’t forget about the half-time show either – that’s an event in itself!

Tune in on 10 February on ESPN.
