Now’s a great time to get footy fans in venues with the return of the NRL and AFL.

The 2023 Telstra NRL Premiership Season has kicked off and it’s already shaping up to be a thrilling one. Last year’s premiership winners, Penrith Panthers, will be looking for the three-peat but the Parramatta Eels, Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters are all looking like strong contenders to dethrone them. And can the Dolphins make a splash in their inaugural season?

FOXTEL has every game of every round of the 2023 Telstra NRL Premiership Season live and ad-break free during play for venues around the country. And with games on Friday to Sunday each week as well as some Thursday and Monday games, there’s plenty of action to keep bringing sports fans into your venue.

Then on Thursday 16 March, the 2023 Toyota AFL Premiership Season kicks off. This year the season will be a week longer, with the introduction of the additional ‘Gather Round’ in place of a pre-season game.

Geelong have mostly kept the same team that won last year’s Grand Final, although captain Joel Selwood won’t be leading the charge this year after hanging up his boots. But with the additions of Ollie Henry and Tanner Bruhn, the Cats will be hoping for back-to-back premierships. The Sydney Swans will be looking for redemption though after being smashed by the Cats in the Grand Final and will the Gold Coast Suns finally crack the top eight?
