FOX Sports will broadcast the first Live video game contest on Australian TV with full commentary, after partnering the Football Federation Australia for the FOX Fans League.

A-League fans will compete in shopping centres to qualify for a national final, with match commentary from the FOX Sports football team.

FOX Sports CEO, Patrick Delany, said: “The EA Sports Football franchise is one of the biggest and most successful in the gaming world and the game of football, as we know, is exploding in popularity here in Australia.

“Teamed with PS4, Australia’s most popular next generation home console, the FOX Fans League brings these two worlds together. For the first time on Australian television we’ll see a Live national broadcast of a video game contest, with a full commentary team to call the action as the two best FIFA gamers in the country square off in the final at Melbourne’s Federation Square.

“We are excited not only about the opportunity to deliver another Australian television first but, thanks to the support of our incredible partners, to engage the grassroots football community to compete in a nation-wide competition representing their favourite Hyundai A-League club,” he said.

FFA CEO David Gallop said, “Digital and social channels are the drivers of fan engagement for the Hyundai ALeague and the FOX Fans League provides a unique connection,” said Gallop.

“It’s great to see this activation with A-League fans picking their favourite Hyundai A-League stars in a full-on gamer showdown live on TV.”
