Mega Monday on Seven
The Super Bowl LVI and Olympic Winter Games, live and free
The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will headline an action-packed day of sport on the Seven Network when the biggest sporting event in America, the Super Bowl LVI, is broadcast live and free on Channel 7 and 7plus next Monday 14 February from 10.00am AEDT.
From the NFL in Los Angeles to the slopes in Beijing, Sevenâs sport schedule will be jam-packed when the Aussies go for gold on Day 10 of the Olympic Winter Games, following an epic Super Bowl LVI, including the highly anticipated Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show headlined by Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Eminem.
The NFL action will kick off from 9.30am AEDT with a special Super Bowl Edition of Sevenâs NFL Armchair Experts , featuring former Arizona Cardinals punter and Geelong AFL star Ben Graham and host Cam Luke on the ground in Los Angeles before the main event at 10.00am AEDT.
Following all the NFL action, Sevenâs Matt Shirvington and Emma Freedman will take viewers live to Beijing 2022 for a huge day of coverage, likely featuring Australian flagbearer Laura Peel and teammate Danielle Scott in the Womenâs Freestyle Ski Aerial Finals, following the Qualifying Run on Sunday evening.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin said: âAs the free-to-air home of the NFL and Australiaâs Home of the Olympics, weâre thrilled to deliver such an exciting day of back-to-back live sport coverage on Seven.
âSevenâs comprehensive live and free coverage will take viewers inside the action of the current and past NFL seasons, along with exclusive digital content that brings the very best of this incredible sport to fans across Australia.
âAustralians have wholeheartedly embraced the Olympic Winter Games coverage on Seven and we cannot wait to see what our talent-stacked team of athletes has in store when they hit the slopes for the Aerials, Monobob and Big Air Finals on a mega Monday of live sport.â

If that is the case, then Seven has allocated too much time for its Super Bowl coverage (currently scheduled until 4pm AEDT). I think it will finish at around 2.30pm AEDT before Sevenâs Winter Olympics broadcast is transferred from 7mate to main channel.

Itâs nothing new - Seven always overschedules the Super Bowl as if itâll go to a ridiculously stupid number of overtime periods.

Covering for it.
If Sevenâs schedule plays out, theyâll be telling Sydney and Melbourne on 7mate to change to Channel 7 at 4pm, only to be doing the reverse one hour later at 5pm for The Chase. Seems an unnecessarily convoluted way of going about it. Same for NFL pre show on 7mate while Sunrise goes extended again to 10am, before Super Bowl takes over.

NFL? Also, Armchair experts isnât really a pre-show, itâs a show that not many people watch anyway. Going from Sunrise into the NBC Super Bowl production is better.

Seems like the Super Bowl has finished well ahead of Sevenâs preliminary schedule. Live Olympic coverage from 7Mate is beckoning.
Just now switched coverage. 2:18 AEDT
NBC was about to leave the coverage soon as well.
After the Olympics appeared on the main channel they stayed on 7Mate so simulcast atm.

Some of Australian racingâs most coveted prizes go on the line over the coming weeks as the Autumn Racing Carnival heats up on the Seven Network, including the $5 million All-Star Mile at Flemington and the 66th running of the $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes at Rosehill Gardens.

The Championships, which features eight Group 1 races across two action-packed Saturdays at Randwick on 2 and 9 April
Sevenâs own pre-eminent sports broadcaster, Bruce McAvaney said this yearâs Autumn Carnival could provide us with more history-making highlights:
âAutumn racing has provided so many incredible highlights in recent years â who can forget Winxâs spectacular 2019 retirement? This year all eyes will be on Verry Elleegant. If everything goes right for her, expectations are sheâll run in Europe at the prestigious Prix de lâArc de Triomphe.
âThe Championships have provided the spice to the autumn that weâve historically experienced in spring racing here in Australia. The $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes will decide our horse of the year, and there are a number of key contenders seeking the crown.
âFor the first time on the same day, we have the worldâs richest two-year-old race, and the Golden Slipper and All-Star Mile are both now worth $5 million. Itâs going to be spine tingling.â

Considering Jelfs has been a contributor to Sevenâs coverage over the last few years (and indeed the number of âguestâ presenting stints sheâs had so far this year), it makes sense that the network has reached an agreement for her to âproperlyâ join them.
Sky Racingâs inability to reach an agreement with Jelfs last year (and her subsequent resignation) is Sevenâs gain - especially because of the respect she has in the industry.

Seven strikes three-year partnership with Athletics Australia
The Seven Networkâs coverage of Australian athletics is ready to step up another gear, as Athletics Australia and Seven announce a three-year streaming deal, commencing with the Australian Track and Field Championships this month, live, free and in HD* on 7plus.
Athletics is one of Australiaâs most loved sports, with Australian track and field athletes featuring in six of the top 10 events on Seven during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games last year.
Australians will not miss any of the action at a national level, with Seven broadcasting the next three editions of the Australian Track and Field Championships.
Seven Melbourne Managing Director and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: âWe are very happy to extend our sports offering to include Australian athletics throughout the next three seasons on Seven, Your Home of Sport.
âDuring the Tokyo Olympics, we saw just how much Australians love getting behind our track and field athletes, and we cannot wait to deliver the excitement, the passion and the pure elation of our Aussie athletes, straight into living rooms across the country. All the action is just one click away on your smart TV, mobile, tablet or computer.â
âWe were thrilled to see that there was such an appetite from Australian audiences for athletics during both the Australian Track and Field Championships and the Tokyo Olympics last year. Weâre grateful that Seven sees the value of Australian athletics on screens in the lead up to both the 2022 Commonwealth Games and, of course, Paris 2024.
âWe have no doubt Seven will help us reach new audiences and inspire more people to get involved in our sport, and weâre excited that through this long-term partnership, the country can get a taste of whatâs to come from our sport.â
Sevenâs broadcast of the Australian Track and Field Championships will begin with the first session of the Championships at 2.00pm AEDT on 26 March, live, free and in HD* on 7plus.
