Finally! The 2025/2026 Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s season is set to kick off on Friday, October 17, marking the long-awaited return of Australia’s top-flight football competition.
This year’s campaign promises surprises, fresh rivalries, new storylines, and the continued rise of Australian talent on home soil.
For A-League fans countrywide, anticipation is building as clubs prepare to chase glory in what’s shaping up to be one of the league’s most competitive seasons yet, with newcomers Auckland FC surprisingly winning it all last season, despite only being officially founded 18 months ago.
Once again, Paramount Australia will be the ultimate destination for fans, delivering every match, goal, and defining moment live and on demand. Viewers can expect comprehensive coverage through Network 10 and Paramount+, with in-depth analysis, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes access that brings fans closer to the action than ever before.
Leading the football coverage this season is an all-star commentary and presenting team, including Tara Rushton, Archie Thompson, Grace Gill, Daniel McBreen, Andy Harper, Robbie Thomson, Erik Paartalu, Scott Mackinnon, Alex Brosque, and Bruce Djite. Together, they’ll guide viewers through every dramatic twist of the season with expert insight and personality.
From the roar of Melbourne Victory’s home crowd at AAMI Park to the energy of Sydney FC at Sydney Football Stadium, excitement is already reaching fever pitch as the countdown to kickoff begins. Each Saturday, join the atmosphere for two extra mens free-to-air matches on 10 Drama and 10 Streaming from 5pm.
Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or a newcomer discovering the league for the first time, the 2025/26 A-League Men’s season is shaping up to be one to remember, which will hopefully follow in last seasons footsteps, with redemption arcs and dramatic moments that showcase the best of Oceanic football.
