Most Fox Sports games will be broadcast on Channels 501 and 503, but you will need to check your local guides each week to ensure you don’t miss a moment of the action.

In addition to live matches and replays on Fox Sports, 2017 is the second year of a deal with Network Ten that sees one game on delay each Sunday morning, with coverage generally starting at 8am (AEDT).

Network Ten’s matches will have at least one Australian team and this will be mixed throughout the season to ensure each team gets some free-to-air spotlight.

The Roar will also be providing live scores and blogs of every game as well as highlights of matches.
