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.
Following an extensive open market process, the new partnership includes broader free-to-air exposure, greater content distribution for the A-Leagues, and every match live on the best value-for-money streaming platform in Australia.
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.
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. 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’ content in pubs and clubs.
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.
