Fox League has announced a jam-packed programming schedule and an all-star talent line-up for the upcoming NRL Telstra Premiership Season.
The channel, available on Foxtel and Kayo Sports, is set to offer unrivalled coverage of the sport. To mark the occasion, a group of Fox League talent, including Mal Meninga, Matty Johns, Cooper Cronk, and Yvonne Sampson, gathered at Darling Harbour to witness Braith Anasta and Michael Ennis officially launch the season on water-powered jet-packs.
Fox League’s Super Saturday coverage will see Meninga, a Rugby League Immortal, joining Sampson and Cronk for every Saturday game broadcast live and ad-break free during play.
The channel’s Executive Director, Steve Crawley, stated that Fox League is privileged to have Meninga fronting Super Saturday with Sampson.
“Rugby League is entering a new era with the Dolphins joining the competition and we’ll be there every step of the way to bring fans closer to the action on Fox League.
We’re privileged to have an immortal in Mal Meninga front Super Saturday for us alongside Yvonne Sampson – while the Matty Johns Show and NRL 360 return bigger and better than ever before.”
NRL 360 will continue to set the news agenda with host Braith Anasta and Paul Kent analyzing every aspect of the 2023 season, with the best rugby league journalists in the game and a rotating panel of former star players, including Gorden Tallis, Cooper Cronk, Michael Ennis, and Corey Parker.
On Monday nights, Yvonne Sampson and Jake Duke will interview key characters in and around rugby league on Face-to-Face on Fox to deliver compelling storytelling. Meanwhile, the Matty Johns Podcast will return on Tuesday, offering analysis from the game’s greatest minds.
The channel’s 2023 programming lineup also includes an extended pre-game coverage on Thursday nights, a 90-minute preview before the first kick-off of the round, with Jess Yates, Gorden Tallis, Greg Alexander, and Michael Ennis previewing the biggest matches and showcasing the game’s superstars.
