Seven Network has appointed award-winning sports broadcaster Tom Morris to its AFL and cricket coverage for 2026.
Morris will join Seven’s AFL coverage on Sunday afternoons, starting with this weekend’s Melbourne v Brisbane Lions clash at the MCG, airing live on Seven, 7mate and 7plus Sport.
Expanding AFL role
He will also host the network’s weekly Wednesday night edition of The Agenda Setters, alongside 7NEWS Chief Football Reporter Mitch Cleary, 7AFL expert Nick Riewoldt and a rotating fourth panellist.
Morris said joining the program was a natural fit.
“I have loved The Agenda Setters as a viewer… to now be part of that show and contribute alongside such a strong team is incredibly exciting,” he said.
“To now be part of that show and contribute to those discussions alongside such a strong team, both on and off camera, is incredibly exciting. Mitch Cleary and I have spent plenty of time on opposite sides of the fence, so to be on the same team and working on stories together will be brilliant. I can’t wait to get started.”
Cricket coverage locked in
Morris will also take on the role of Chief Cricket Reporter for Seven’s international coverage, beginning with the Australia v Bangladesh series in Darwin and Mackay from 13 August.
He will continue across Seven’s Test and Big Bash League coverage for the 2026–27 Summer of Cricket on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Cross-platform expansion
As part of Seven’s broader cricket offering, SEN’s podcast The New Ball, hosted by Morris and Bharat Sundaresan, will be simulcast on 7mate and streamed live on 7plus Sport ahead of play during the Australia v New Zealand Test Series.
Morris is a former Alf Brown Award recipient, recognised as the best media performer at the 2023 Australian Football Media Awards for breaking the story of Damien Hardwick’s departure from Richmond.
