Staff and commentators

Australian Football League

ABC Sport's coverage of the AFL is the flagship sports programme in the southern states. Every game of the season is called by the ABC and is available live nationally on the ABC listen app via the AFL and AFL Extra channels. National radio coverage for games outside the home state is determined by the match with the highest appeal or if there is no clash with other games. ABC Local Radio stations and ABC Sport Digital on DAB+ in the NT, SA, VIC, TAS and WA carry the AFL whilst only local matches are on ABC Radio in the ACT, NSW and QLD, whereas non-local matches in are carried on ABC NewsRadio. The ABC Sport coverage uses "Something Big is Coming" by SATV Music as their 2024 theme song.
