How to watch the A-League Men in Australia

  • Dates: October 7, 2022 - May 27, 2022
  • TV channel: 10 Bold
  • Streaming: 10 Play, Paramount+

Network 10 currently have the broadcast rights to the A-League Men in Australia. 

After showing just one match on free-to-air TV last season, Network 10 will broadcast two games each round this coming campaign on 10 Bold.

The primetime Saturday night match and 3:00 p.m. Sunday game will be free to watch on television every round.

Unike last season, matches will be free of ad-breaks during play with in-picture advertising to be used instead to ensure none of the action is missed.

Those two televised games will then also be available via the free-to-use streaming service 10 Play

For fans wanting to watch every match, Paramount+ is the place to see all the action with every single match of the 2022/23 A-League Men season to be streamed on the platform. 

How to watch Paramount+ in Australia

Paramount+ was launched in Australia in 2021 and is a subscription-based streaming service. 

Subscriptions cost $8.99 a month with free seven-day trials available for new customers. 

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

The streaming service also shows the A-League Women, select Socceroos and Matildas matches, the FA Cup and AFC Champions League. 

Paramount+ have also recently released a Sydney FC documentary series looking back at the club's 2021/22 season.

What happened to Fox Sports?

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

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

Aside from occasional technical difficulties, Fox Sports' final season also saw veteran commentator Simon Hill axed after he fell out with the network.

Hill subsequently claimed Fox Sports weren't giving the game proper coverage and opted to remove him after he tried to defend the competition.  

Who is commentating A-League Men matches?

Now on another network, Simon Hill is back commentating A-League Men matches. 

Hill is joined by the likes of Ben Homer, Teo Pellizzeri and Robbie Thomson this season in calling games. 

Tara Rushton and Niav Owens are expected to share hosting roles once again, while former players like Archie Thompson, Daniel McBreen and Alex Brosque will provide co-commentary.
