Disappointing
Finals Fire Ignites A-Leagues As The Race To Championship Glory Intensifies.
High Stakes Elimination Finals And Semi Finals Take Centre Stage This Weekend.
The race to Championship glory steps up this weekend as the Ninja A-League Women and Isuzu UTE A-League Men Finals Series deliver a blockbuster slate of matches, with elimination finals and Semi Finals shaping the path to the Final – and fans can watch the action unfold live across Paramount+ and Network 10.
After a tightly contested regular season, where ladder positions shifted through the final round, the Finals Series now moves into its most decisive phase.
Saturday night shapes up as a defining moment in the Isuzu UTE A-League Men, with two sudden-death Elimination Finals on the schedule.
At AAMI Park, Melbourne Victory take on Sydney FC in a high-stakes Big Blue showdown, with two of the competition’s biggest clubs meeting in a finals clash for the first time since 2019. With a place in the Semi Finals on the line, the rivalry adds another chapter under finals pressure.
Across the Tasman, Melbourne City travel to face Auckland FC, with both sides entering the Finals Series off the back of a dramatic final round, setting up for a compelling elimination clash.
The Ninja A-League Women Finals Series shifts into another gear this weekend, with the final four clubs ready to leave everything on the pitch in pursuit of Championship glory.
A blockbuster Melbourne derby headlines Saturday’s Semi Final action, as Melbourne Victory host Melbourne City at AAMI Park in a clash rich with rivalry and finals intensity.
On Sunday, Brisbane Roar face Wellington Phoenix at Spencer Park, with both sides looking to make a statement and seize control of their Grand Final push.
Across both competitions, the A-Leagues continue to showcase elite talent, emerging stars and high-quality football, delivering unmissable action with every match streaming live and in full on Paramount+, and live and free on 10 Drama and 10 Streaming, ensuring fans don’t miss a moment.

All finals not on 10 is a disgrace.
Grow the game and have them all freely available

The Men’s Auckland vs Melbourne City match could easily be on 10’s main channel on the Saturday Arvo. Don’t they just air repeats of game shows and travel shows in those slots?
Why not air the Sunday arov match on 10 Drama? Surely JAG can have a break from its 6 regular viewers.

Cheers. Now edited.
Just wished that they aired all of the Finals Series on their various channels. Instead of pushing them towards Paramount+. I get why they do it, but it sucks.
At least have it available on 10W+SF if it’s not available on linear
The Matildas will host Mexico in a two-match series in June. The first match in Sydney will be shown live on 10 and Paramount+, while the second match in Newcastle will be on P+ only.

There’s a reason why 10 picked our game over the Adelaide vs Auckland game. 
Aside from it being cheaper to send an OB truck to Newcastle and Sydney…#BoxOfficeJets

Should have done both games or at least one game one week and the alternative the following
#NSWBias
So they probably could have done both, but I get why they haven’t. Your other suggestion just doesn’t make sense though. If you are going to retain viewers across the two weekends on FTA, telling them they can’t watch the second leg of the semi-final they just watched without subscribing is a poor way of doing it.

Should’ve done both, yes. But they picked the right one for primetime. IYKYK
How does this apply here

On 10Drama today -
1.30pm: A-League Women’s Semi (Melb City v Melb Victory)
4.30pm: JAG
5.30pm: Fishing with ET
6.00pm: JAG
7.00pm: Football Tonight
7.35pm: A-League Men Semi (Syd v Newcastle)
I know some games are on Paramount, but would have been nice to see the two games on FTA being a lot closer together than what it is. It will lose momentum between the two.

Referring to me. Why would someone recommend they choose one series over the other?
