Fox Footy swoops on Shaun Burgoyne to bolster AFL on air team – Decorated four-time AFL Premiership champion and respected analyst Shaun Burgoyne will officially join Fox Footy in 2025, coinciding with the start of a landmark rights deal signed by the Foxtel Group.
Most recently, Burgoyne, who played 407 games for Port Adelaide and Hawthorn, has been providing special comments for Channel Seven.
Joining an unrivalled suite of talent, Burgoyne is the first of several experts expected to sign with Fox Footy in new roles next season as they bolster their ranks to maximise the opportunity the 2025 rights afford them.
This includes the fact that for at least the first eight rounds nationally and at least the first 15 rounds in Victoria, the only place fans will be able to watch AFL live on a Saturday will be on Kayo Sports or Foxtel. Fox Footy are referring to this as ‘Super Saturday Live’.
Fox Sports Managing Director Steve Crawley said:
“Shaun is a straight shooter with a trusted opinion and has earned the respect of all football fans. He is football royalty and he wants to work at Fox Footy.”
Burgoyne will take his place at Fox Footy next season alongside other legends and fan favourites including Garry Lyon, Nathan Buckley, Jonathan Brown, Jason Dunstall and many more.
During the 2025 AFL season, Fox Footy commentary and production will be available on all games for the first time along with no ad-breaks during play and every match will also be made available in 4K on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
