CommBank Matildas To Face Japan In AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Final.
It All Comes Down To This Moment On Home Soil.
The CommBank Matildas will take to the pitch this Saturday at Stadium Australia to face Japan in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Final, with everything on the line as they chase a historic triumph on home soil.
After a hard-fought and compelling run through the tournament, the Tillies now stand on the brink of a defining moment, with the opportunity to lift the AFC Women’s Asian Cup trophy in front of a capacity crowd at Stadium Australia.
Supported by legions of passionate Tillies fans and the momentum of a nation behind them, the CommBank Matildas will enter the Final ready to deliver when it counts, with belief, resilience and attacking firepower carrying them to this moment.
Japan arrive into the Final off the back of a commanding semi-final performance, setting up a blockbuster decider between two in-form sides as both teams prepare to go head-to-head for the title.
For captain Sam Kerr, the final represents the opportunity to lead Australia in front of a home crowd on the biggest night of the tournament, as a squad that has delivered time and time again prepares for its defining moment. With Mary Fowler’s creativity and attacking spark, the energy of Hayley Raso and Caitlin Foord out wide, Ellie Carpenter’s impact from defence, the experience of Alanna Kennedy in defence and the reliability of Mackenzie Arnold in goal, the CommBank Matildas have showcased their depth, resilience and ability to rise when it matters most.
Also set to ignite Stadium Australia, ARIA Award-winning artist G Flip will headline the AFC Women’s Asian Cup 2026™ Final Closing Ceremony, delivering a high-energy performance to kickstart the night. Having reimagined Pat Benatar’s hit ‘All Fired Up’ for Paramount+, G Flip will bring the powerful track to life on the biggest stage, adding to the electric atmosphere as the Final builds.

This should rate okayish and well by 10 standards but unfortunately you wouldn’t know it was on if you’re watching the other networks or mainstream media exposure. It’s a non event for those people.
Oh right, I don’t watch seven so I wouldn’t know.
Nothing in the first 10 Minutes of nine News Sydney.

Caught the end of a Socceroos promo aired at the end of the last ad break.
No idea if it was 10Play only or on linear
I have seen a promo for Socceroos v Cameroon on 10 website.

Came back from ad break; no more than a minute half time update, then back to short ad break, and back to coverage. C’mon 
First time I’ve watched ch10 in ages.

They have to cram the ads into the half time break - soccer isn’t very friendly to ad breaks at other times.

I know, but surely it can be done better than that. I got whiplash from returning to coverage from ad breaks and then almost straight back again.
Heartbreak for our Tillies. Full time and 1-0 victory to Japan. Reckon their coverage hits the magic million tomorrow

Not the result we wanted, but being in the Final is still huge for the Matildas.
Expecting a bumper TV audience when it comes out tomorrow morning.
And nice promotion from 10 - saying they have next years Women’s FIFA World Cup. Promote that for the next year.
