Are Fox taking SKY feed for the Super League or their own coverage?

I have a feeling it will be SKY feed as there has been next to no premotion of it they have only focused on the two NRL games and the Womans international game.

Andrew Voss just said on SEN that he is calling the Superleague game for Fox League

As in Sky Sports UK? You’d think Sky Sports would be taking Fox’s coverage, and it seems that they are if Vossy is calling it.

Yes, SKY Sports UK.
Will it be Fox taking it as they will be in Vegas and are able to call it and film it - hence their own graphics.
Or will it be SKY Sports callers and graphics and the such.
Or FOX Callers with Sky graphics?

All broadcasters are tightening their belts. So Sky could just take Fox’s coverage, warts and all. Vossy wouldn’t be a bad fit, as he knows his British rugby league better than his breakfast radio.

If there is a clean feed, which I doubt, that could be sent back to Sky UK, and they add their own from their base and have their commentators in the UK.

But I reckon they would just go with Fox’s call of the game and let it be - if only to save money.

Do we know what’s going on with Fox leagues weekly show line up this year?

Yes.

I heard Brian Carney will be there who anchors it for SKY.
I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a mixture.

He’s good value. The season he had with the Knights and his media partnership with Matty Johns was a cracker.

Fox League Celebrates the Official NRL Launch in Las Vegas

The NRL has officially kicked off ‘Vegas Week’ with an event at Resorts World attended by Fox League talent Yvonne Sampson, Lara Pitt, Michael Ennis, Andrew Voss, Dan Ginnane and James Hooper.

Proceedings were co-hosted by Hannah Hollis and headlined by Chairman Peter V’landys and CEO Andrew Abdo. Foxtel Group CEO Patrick Delany also attended.

Delany said: “After our blockbuster coverage of Las Vegas in 2024 broke viewership and subscriber records, we are taking our coverage this year to the next level. Today’s launch set the tone and kicked off what will be another incredible weekend of footy with Fox League exclusively showing the Raiders and Warriors clash and is the only place to watch all four games, live with no ad-breaks during play.”

Club Captains were interviewed on stage and V’landys was awarded the keys to Las Vegas as part of the formalities.

Shortly, Fox League’s marquee shows ‘NRL 360’ and ‘The Matty Johns Show’ will get underway in front of hundreds of fans on Fremont St. Matty Johns, Nathan Hindmarsh, Bryan Fletcher, Braith Anasta and Gorden Tallis, will feature alongside others to kick off what is set to be another historic year for Fox League.

More shows to come with on air times (Sydney Local Time)

  • Friday 28th February from 10am, NRL 360 and The Matty Johns Show on Fremont Street
  • Saturday 1st March from 2pm, NRL 360 and The Matty Johns Show on Fremont Street
  • Sunday 2nd March from 8am: Fox League Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium

The ONLY place to watch all four games of Rugby League in Las Vegas live is on Fox League, available on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.

Both are live, but which one is actually live?


(Oddly it seems that FOX8 is on a delay)

Watching the Wigan vs Warrington match on Fox League this morning, I noticed they didn’t have the Super League logo super-imposed on the field, like it was on videos posted by X/Instagram.
