Already unsubscribed from P+ - A-League was the only thing keeping me on P+. Needs less Victorian and Sydney teams, needs more restorative justice in getting the Jets in the finals. :rofl:

The Matildas will play Slovenia at HBF Park in Perth on June 26 and 29, before hosting Panama in Bunbury on July 5, and at HBF Park on July 8.

The June 26 encounter with Slovenia will be the only game on 10, while all four matches will be streamed live on Paramount+.


10 Play will be streaming both Australia Cup playoffs live from Darwin Football Stadium this week.

Wrexham AFC Are Coming Down Under And Straight To Paramount+.

Winter Festival Of Football. Live And Exclusive On Paramount+.

Get ready for a red-hot Winter because the Winter Festival of Football is back – and it’s bringing serious heat to Paramount+ this July!

Kicking off Paramount+’s month-long celebration of powerhouse football, is the globe-trotting, Hollywood-backed, fairy-tale club Wrexham AFC. After skyrocketing from non-league obscurity to the Championship in just four years, the Red Dragons are heading Down Under to take on Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory before heading across to the ditch to face Wellington Phoenix.

When Wrexham wraps up their historic tour Down Under, the football firestorm rolls into Asia, where European heavyweights Arsenal FC, AC Milan, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur FC and Liverpool FC collide in the Singapore and Hong Kong football festivals, all streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

Paramount+’s Winter Festival Of Football campaign begins with Wrexham AFC’s historic three-game tour:

  • Wrexham v Melbourne Victory – Friday, 11 July 2025, Marvel Stadium, Melbourne
  • Wrexham v Sydney FC – Tuesday, 15 July 2025, Allianz Stadium, Sydney
  • Wrexham v Wellington Phoenix – Saturday, 19 July 2025, SKY Stadium, Wellington

Four years after Ryan Reynolds and fellow Hollywood A-lister Rob McElhenney bought a struggling soccer club in North Wales, Wrexham AFC are now one league away from achieving their lofty goal of reaching the Premier League after recently sealing a third consecutive promotion. Thanks to the uber popular documentary series Welcome to Wrexham, the club has become a worldwide phenomenon, so whether you’re a long-time supporter or a brand-new believer, don’t miss the Red Dragons light it up Down Under on Paramount+.

Then, the football action heads to Asia for two marquee events:

SINGAPORE FESTIVAL OF FOOTBALL – Singapore National Stadium

  • Arsenal FC v AC Milan – Wednesday, 23 July 2025
  • Arsenal FC v Newcastle United – Sunday, 27 July 2025

HONG KONG FOOTBALL FESTIVAL – Kai Tak Sports Park

  • Liverpool FC v AC Milan – Saturday, 26 July 2025
  • Arsenal FC v Tottenham Hotspur FC – Thursday, 31 July 2025

With the Singapore Festival of Football and the Hong Kong Football Festival taking place in Asia, this is your chance to catch these European powerhouses at a more Aussie fan friendly time of 9.30pm AEST. No more waking up in the middle of the night to watch your favourite Euro teams!

Whether it’s the passion of Wrexham fans, the fire of Premier League rivalries, or iconic European clashes, Paramount+ is where it’s at this Winter.

Tonight’s match on 10play is using the large 10play w/m not the small 10play w/m or the 10 Sport one.
This normal?

Indeed it is.

With the A-League Women’s Grand Final on tomorrow afternoon on 10Bold, I wish that 10 would promote the fixture a lot more than what they’re doing now.

10 have a habit of advertising the living crap of one show, but ignoring many others.

10 News First would like a mention here in this catergory.
Partial reason A-League is probably in the toilet. Not enough people know/care or have any interest as you have the occasional promo, but most of them sound like a P+ product that it costs money for.
10 need a better advertising strategy as a whole. Doubt it’ll happen ever though.

Isuzu UTE A-League Men 2025 Semi Finals (Second Leg).

Live And Exclusive To 10 Bold, 10 Play And Paramount+.

After an epic Grand Final on Sunday that saw Central Coast Mariners crowned Champions of the Ninja A-League for the very first time, the spotlight now swivels to the Men’s competition, where two do-or-die clashes await when the Semi Finals shift into second gear — and only 10 Bold, 10 Play, and Paramount+ have them live and exclusive.

Across the ditch and on the pitch, Isuzu UTE A-League Men Premiers, Auckland FC, grounded Melbourne Victory with a gritty 1-0 win in Melbourne on Saturday night. In cold and wet conditions, Frances de Vries delivered a spectacular cross to Logan Rogerson who rose to the occasion with a header that flew straight past Victory keeper Jack Duncan, to put the away side up 1-0 on the night.

The Black Knights will now host Melbourne Victory in Auckland this Saturday, 24 May at 3pm AEST, live and exclusive to Paramount+. Victory face an uphill battle – can they bounce back in Auckland and storm into the final, or will the Black Knights shut the gates?

Meanwhile, Melbourne City have one hand on the Grand Final ticket after a 3-0 first-leg blitz against Western United at AAMI Park last Friday night. Germán Ferreyra kick-started things with a header that had fans on their feet just 16 minutes in, Yonatan Cohen doubled down with a strike in the 54th minute and Mat Leckie applied the finishing touch thanks to a close range goal with just under 20 minutes remaining.

Melbourne City will now take their three-goal advantage into the second leg against Western United this Saturday at 7pm AEST, live and free on 10 Bold, 10 Play and streaming on Paramount+. City are looking slick but can Western find the ignition and spark a comeback for the ages?

The winners of each semi-final will book their spot in the Isuzu UTE A-League 2025 Grand Final, set for Saturday 31 May, hosted by the highest-ranked team from the regular season.

Is 10 showing the Grand Final of the AFC Women’s Champions League on 10 Bold rather than 10Play. As 10 showed the AFC Championship Final early this year.

The match will be on 10 Play only.

DONT UDNERSTAND WHY IT IS NOT ON FTA!

It’s 10, most of us have given up thinking they’ll put sport on FTA. Especially since they hardly promote it so it doesn’t get known about.
TBH it might not rate anyway and if it was FTA it’d be on Bold probably.

On another note, 10 should pick this up over here.

Heartbreak for Auckland, losing 0-2 to Melbourne Victory in the second leg of their semi final at home this evening. Victory won 2-1 in aggregate, meaning next Saturday night’s A-League Men grand final will be an all-Melbourne affair, with Melbourne City taking a 3-0 lead over Western United into tonight.
