Paramount+ And Australian Professional Leagues Extend Partnership For Three More Years.
Paramount Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) today announced a three-year extension of their media rights partnership, keeping Paramount+ as the exclusive streaming home of Australian football.
A-League viewing on Paramount+ is at record levels in the 2025/26 season, up 55% since the 2021/22 season. Across Paramount+ and Network 10, the A-League season has already reached 4 million Australians on streaming and broadcast TV ahead of the Final Series.
Under the renewed agreement, every Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s match and every Ninja A-League Women’s match will be available live on Paramount+, making it the only place to watch all the action as it happens.
Network 10 will complement this with free-to-air access, broadcasting one men’s match per week and ten women’s matches per season, including the Grand Final.
Every Ninja A-League Women’s match will also stream live and free on 10 Streaming. Marquee men’s games will air on 10’s primary channel.
Fans on Paramount+ will also have access to minis, highlights and replays of every match. Network 10 will host Football Tonight, their pre-game show ahead of every free-to-air match, while the A-Leagues’ popular Total A-Leagues and DubZone shows will be available on 10 Streaming.
Adam Cush, Director of Sport, Paramount Australia and New Zealand, said: “We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the Australian Professional Leagues and to build on the strong foundation we have established together.
“The A-Leagues’ 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.”
Steve Rosich, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Professional Leagues, said: “After an extensive open market process that showcased the demand and value of the A-Leagues, we are really pleased to renew our partnership with Paramount+ and Network 10, the home of Australian football.
