We’re privileged to have an immortal in Mal Meninga front Super Saturday for us alongside Yvonne Sampson – while the Matty Johns Show and NRL 360 return bigger and better than ever before.”
Monday to Wednesday, NRL 360 will continue to set the news agenda with host Braith Anasta. Joined by Paul Kent, the pair will dissect the good, the bad and the ugly throughout the 2023 season, with the best rugby league journalists in the game and a rotating panel of former star players, including Gorden Tallis, Cooper Cronk, Michael Ennis, and Corey Parker.
“Face-to-Face on Fox” returns with Yvonne Sampson and Jake Duke as they interview key characters in and around rugby league to deliver compelling storytelling on Monday nights including first guest Harry Grant.
You can catch the “Matty Johns Podcast” returning Tuesday’s bigger and better than ever with analysis from game’s greatest minds.
New in 2023 will be an extended pre-game coverage, on Thursday nights now a 90-minute preview before the first kick-off of the round. Join Jess Yates, Gorden Tallis, Greg Alexander, and Michael Ennis to preview the biggest matches and showcase the game’s superstars.
On Thursday’s “The Late Show with Matty Johns Live” will deliver footy’s funniest panel including Gorden Tallis, Bryan Fletcher, and Nathan Hindmarsh with the return of the much loved “Fletch & Hindy” segment including exclusive interviews with players, coaches and rugby league personalities.
Fridays on Fox League will have fans sorted with extended post-game coverage with the first word on the biggest talking points of the round.
Braith Anasta headlines “The Sunday Ticket” coverage with five hours of family-friendly footy on Fox League, the destination for all games on Sunday live and ad-break free during play.
Matty Johns will be back for laughs and all-class entertainment on “Sunday Night with Matty Johns Live” joined by “Fletch & Hindy” and current superstars of the game.

“And with the Redcliffe Dolphins entering the competition, Kayo Sports will be the place to be for even more live games and more Queensland rivalry, including for Dolphins home games, where fans can cheer on their team in the newly named Kayo Stadium.’’
