Virtual Crowd Noise will debut in round 2 as the AFL season finally continues on Fox Footy and Kayo. The sounds of fans will differ for all clubs and stadiums, enhancing the fan experience.
Fox Footy is also bringing fans as close to the game as possible with the return of Fox Air, an aerial cable camera that will fly up and down the ground showing play from every angle.
Led by Nick Riewoldt and Jonathan Brown, Fox Footy’s live action begins before the first siren sounds every round and continues until the locker rooms are empty on a Sunday.

On Wednesdays, the legends are back, with Shinboner David King, Big Blue Mark Maclure, former Hawk champions Jordan Lewis and Jarryd Roughead debating and unpacking the biggest stories of the round.
On The Couch will return on Mondays after AFL 360 with AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan joining the new-look star- studded team lead by Gerard Healy for their first episode back. Healy, Garry Lyon and Brown will be joined permanently on the couches by Riewoldt, dissecting the weekend gone and the week ahead.
Mike Sheahan returns for another season of Open Mike on Tuesday evenings, launching with Bulldogs Premiership star, Dale Morris.
