Fox League ready to kick off biggest NRL season ever – Coinciding with the NRL’s official Season Launch this morning, Fox League has also unveiled its plans for a monster 2025 on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
The event at Alpha in Sydney was co-hosted by Fox League’s own Yvonne Sampson and featured a season preview by Greg Alexander.
Season 2025 follows unprecedented audience numbers and exponential streaming growth last year with a surge in viewership up 30% year on year. There was also five billion minutes streamed across all Foxtel Group streaming platforms.
Fox League also anticipates another massive week in Las Vegas, after last year’s inaugural season opener broke subscriber and viewership records.
Announced last week, Fox League has secured experienced coach Kevin Walters as an expert analyst for the season ahead. Walters will join a stellar line-up of experts, commentators and hosts including Matty Johns, Braith Anasta, Cooper Cronk, Lara Pitt, Michael Ennis.
Fox Sports Managing Director Steve Crawley said:
“The game is in great health. Breaking record across all metrics and we’re excited for the season to begin. For the fans lucky enough to travel to Las Vegas, it will be an awesome opener – for those at home, we’re committed to giving you the best seat in the house – we can’t wait.”
Fan favourites and marquee shows will also return on Fox League, bringing viewers closer than ever to the action and the latest NRL news.
