Fox Footy is packing its broadcast gear — and a truckload of talent — for a massive on-the-ground takeover of Adelaide during AFL Gather Round 2025.
With every match airing live and ad-break free during play, the network is sending more than 30 commentators, presenters and former stars to cover all the action from Adelaide Oval, Norwood Oval and Barossa Park.
It all kicked off last night with AFL 360 broadcasting live from Adelaide Oval, where Gerard Whateley and Garry Lyon hosted the show in front of more than 150 fans.
