Paramount+ can be viewed via mobile, tablet, desktop, chromecast and a range of smart TVs.

What happened to Fox Sports?

Prior to the 2021/22 A-League Women season, Fox Sports had held the broadcast rights to the competition. 

The broadcaster was criticised for some of their overall coverage leading up to the renewal period and they were ultimately outbid by Viacom CBS, who own Network 10 and Paramount+. 

Who is commentating A-League Women matches?

Network 10's coverage of the 2022/23 A-League Women season features the likes of broadcaster Niav Owens and former player Grace Gill.

The new 'Dub Zone' program was anchored by Owens who was joined by co-host Briana Goodchild, and social media host Kat Haddad.

Commentary will come from Teo Pellizzeri, joined throughout the season by a number of former players and coaches including Gill, Melissa Barbieri, Michelle Heyman, Teresa Polias, Leah Blaney and Catherine Cannuli.

Three new commentators who have come through the APL’s talent development program will also feature in broadcasts throughout the season - Taryn Heddo, Pokuah Frimpong and Georgia Rajic.
