PARAMOUNT TO GET KICK FROM MEN’S AND WOMEN’S SOCCER Paramount Australia and Football Australia have struck a multi-year and multi-platform agreement to broadcast an extended package of soccer games played by the men’s national team (Socceroos) and the women’s national team (Matildas). The deal, which spans terrestrial broadcaster Network 10 and streamer Paramount+ in Australia, through to 2028, was brokered by IMG . Network 10 and Paramount+ will become the exclusive home to all Australian women’s senior national team matches for the next four years, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 , up until the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics.
The deal also covers men’s senior national team matches, including all AFC Asian Qualifiers (FIFA World Cup 2026 Asian qualifiers final round) except the FIFA World Cup 2026. “Reacquiring the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) national team rights and securing the broadcast rights to the FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027 are strategic moves designed to maximize control over our content, enhance fan accessibility and unlock new revenue streams,” said James Johnson , CEO of Football Australia. “These rights are integral to our strategy to secure a transformative broadcast deal that we anticipate will set new benchmarks in the valuation of football media rights in Australia.
Bringing as much national team content as possible to a multi-platform partner was a key objective from a fan’s perspective.” KOREAN MOU .
