Unless you want South American style ad tickers and the like, you have to monetise the pre-game, post-game, and half time breaks because you have 45 minutes+ of uninterrupted sport.

Surely 10 could air a game to follow the A-League at least given it’s the finals
G Flip Reimagines ‘All Fired Up’ For Paramount+ Broadcast Of AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™.
As Australia delivers an unforgettable chapter in women’s football with the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™, Paramount+, Hello and ARIA Award-winning artist G Flip have reworked the rock classic All Fired Up, unveiling a bold new anthem and integrated marketing campaign to promote the tournament broadcast on Paramount+.
To celebrate the anthem’s launch, G Flip exclusively previewed All Fired Up live to media and students at Endeavour Sports High School in Sydney, a high school that lives and breathes sports and produces elite football talent, including Young Tillies who have represented Australia, and students competing in national and international leagues.
The iconic anthem has not only featured in live, earned and paid environments, including Paramount’s live coverage of all the matches, it’s now being leveraged by players and influencers to drive fans to the broadcast during the tournament.
The track has been released for radio play and streaming with a portion of the royalties from the song donated to Women Onside, an organisation dedicated to promoting gender equality in Australian football for almost a decade, ensuring that its impact reaches far beyond the pitch.
Louise Crompton, VP Marketing and Growth, Paramount+, said: “We wanted to create something bold, punchy and impactful to champion the tournament, reflecting the way enthusiasm for women’s sport keeps gaining momentum and inspiring even more fans to get behind the game.
“We’re seeing a new wave of support for women’s sport, and Paramount+ is proud to be the place where fans can watch every match and be part of it as it unfolds.”
Sam Kelly, CEO, HELLO, said:”It’s been an absolute privilege for Hello to partner with Paramount+ on their AFC Women’s Asian Cup campaign. Collectively, we set out to build on the extraordinary momentum of women’s football in Australia and deepen fandom through a culture-driving moment that could capture the hearts and minds of the nation.
“We landed on an intergenerational, culture-first music play that we’re confident will unite Australians around the women’s game, while creating a flexible creative thread to connect every touchpoint of the campaign. G Flip’s rework of Pat Benatar’s All Fired Up gives us an iconic anthem we can activate across broadcast, paid media, earned, radio play, social co-creation, performance and in real-world fan environments.”
Paramount+ is the exclusive home of every match of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ with the quarter-final knock out matches kicking off this Friday when the CommBank Matildas face Korea DPR in Perth.

How come the A-League is at 1.30pm AEST this week instead of the usual 3pm AEST start time.
And no Football Tonight?
Seems like it 10 will - Nine YourTV guides have it in as of today.
The problem is they’ll always make advance guides on the assumption that Australia… well, advancing.
Can’t rate worse than Survivor even if they don’t
It could be due to the Asian Cup quarter finals being on at 8pm Saturday, and Paramount may have moved the schedule in advance in anticipation that the Matildas would be playing on Saturday night, 8pm. As it happens they finished second, behind South Korea, so they are playing on Friday night and South Korea are playing the Saturday night game.
