Fox footy announced its line up. Pretty much no big changes. Ken joins Fox for Adelaide commentary, Hawkins replaces Buckley for Friday night. That’s about it
Oh they also have Jess Webster as part of their 10 callers. So I think she will call some AFL games this season after calling AFLW for Fox before & MMM AFL last season & ABC before that

Well, this is new.
Dixon, King and Montagna will also return for First Crack Preview on Wednesday night, with star Champion Data analyst Daniel Hoyne to also provide deep footy insight.
Also note OTC has a fixed panel…
7.30pm: On The Couch — hosted by Jack Riewoldt, with Nathan Buckley, Jonathan Brown, Jordan Lewis and Leigh Matthews
…and no panel hosts announced for weekend coverage.

Only one AFLW player in the commentary team which is Ruby Schleicher
Maybe Kayo and Fox Footy would be cheaper if they employed a smaller team! Too many ‘experts’ just to sit in a studio.

Fox Footy has an on-screen apology for poor picture quality in the Gold Coast v St Kilda pre-season match.
The picture is very jerky, looks like about 15 frames per second.

The feed just cut out completely. They have gone to an ad break.

I like the commentator for each team represented if that’s their ultimate goal.

I wouldn’t exactly say Kelli Underwood represents Adelaide.
It’s not meant to be taken literally.

Fox has confirmed there are 25 new advertisers already for the 2026 AFL season opening.
[Adam] Howarth even had a cheeky little dig at his rival commentators over at Seven. “Every time you get to grand final time and viewers have to listen to other commentary, you can hear them going, can you guys please get the rights to this.”
Look, he’s not wrong imo

I don’t see anything wrong with the bottomline , looks way better this year with it being thinner!
still prefer they remove the eye sore logo on the top right and just do what ESPN does.

With the Melbourne v Richmond Pre-Season game abandoned due to lightning, Fox have been forced to put on alternate programming until the next match.
