Tara, Bruce and Simon talking about the Football action.
New Football promo airing now as well, with the song “I just can’t get enough”.
Seems like the Women’s Asian Cup is exclusive to Paramount+?

The Emirates FA Cup Is Coming To 10 ViacomCBS.
10 ViacomCBS and The Football Association (The FA) today announced a media rights agreement which will see the Emirates FA Cup matches broadcast live across Network 10 and Paramount+.
The world’s longest-running domestic knockout football competition, the Emirates FA Cup, not only features the best English clubs, including Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and defending champions, Leicester City, but also some of the world’s best players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Mohamed Salah and Jamie Vardy, and offers clubs across the English football pyramid a chance to play against them all.
The competition officially kicks-off with the First Round Proper on Saturday, 6 November and will continue through to the Final at Wembley Stadium in May, 2022.
Adam Cush, Director of Sport Production, 10 ViacomCBS, said: “In addition to being the proud home of all the A-Leagues, Matildas, Socceroos and FFA Cup matches, we are thrilled to bring Australian audiences a taste of the world’s favourite game featuring the best English clubs and some of the world’s best players.
“The oldest and most prestigious domestic cup competition in the world, the Emirates FA Cup, only adds to our football credentials as the new home of football.”
James Ralley, Head of Broadcast and Media Rights, The FA Cup, added: “The Emirates FA Cup is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year and our agreement with 10 ViacomCBS is a great example of the competition’s continued importance around the world.
“We hope that Australian football fans enjoy Network 10 and Paramount+’s coverage of its special season.”

We’ll have to see whether they have more than the Final on 10. I’d hope maybe one game a weekend (the biggest match of the day, like City v United or Liverpool Chelsea) on FTA.

10 will be the second Australian broadcaster of FA Cup after SBS.
Good to see FA Cup coverage returning to FTA after nearly a decade on ESPN.

Will be very interesting if the FFA Cup rebrands into the FA Cup next year. It is being renamed just no announcement. Very very interesting
The FA Cup Final back on free to air TV is good news.
Great video.
After quite a few false starts for FTA coverage of domestic football in this country, both A-League and NSL, it just feels different this time. Hopefully 10 and P+ keep it up and (hopefully) let the ratings grow.

Given ViacomCBS has just gained the rights to the English FA Cup, you would think that Football Australia (which also has the initials FA) will be treading very carefully when it comes to renaming its own knockout tournament.

No, it will not be called the FA Cup. It will be called the Australia Cup or similar (Les Murray Cup).
