With a decided lack of Live sport from around the world FOX Sports is looking back to great achievements by Aussie sports stars.
FOX Sports More (Channel 507), a pop-up channel , will be available on Foxtel and Foxtel Now from Monday, March 30 through to Sunday, April 5.
There’s no better time to look back at some of the nation’s most memorable and inspirational sporting moments, from individual triumphs by our Aussie athletes to our national team’s endeavours on the world stage.
FOX Sports More (Channel 507) will provide the destination to re-live them all, whether it’s seeing Shane Warne mesmerize the Poms throughout the 2006 Ashes tour or watching Adam Scott become the first Australian to pull on the Green Jacket.
Or perhaps it’s the Kangaroos’ Unbeatables tour in 1986, Ash Barty claiming her first grand slam at the French Open or John Eales clutch penalty goal in the Wallabies win over the All Blacks in Wellington in 2000.
From Monday to Friday, FOX Sports More’s prime time schedule will feature a great Aussie win starting with tennis at 6.00pm, rugby league at 7pm, golf at 8pm, cricket at 9pm, motorsport at 10pm and rugby at 11pm.
Then next weekend the channel will feature the best of everything including Barty’s French Open win, Scott’s breakthrough 2013 Masters victory, our Aussie men’s 2015 World Cup Cricket final and of course the recent Aussie Women’s World Cup T20 Final win.
FOX Sports More (Channel 507) is also available to watch via Foxtel Now and Foxtel subscribers can stream on Foxtel Go. All events on the channel will be available on demand shortly after they have aired.

I currently use kayo and it’ll be shelved this weekend ,all I saw live today was poker ,and I don’t call that a sport , I’ll fire up later when things hopefully return to normal sports wise.
Fox must not have the rights for the 1999 ODI World Cup semi final…AUS v RSA…
This content will be for truly dedicated sports fans with encyclopedia memories and a great sense of nostalgia, I suspect that modern sports fans will look elsewhere if their weekend sports fix is missing, attention spans are short and Foxtel will be taking a financial hit.
It’s notable that UEFA.tv has launched a temporary free classic club and national football archive service on AppleTV and other apps in Europe. I’m not sure what Optus is doing with its sports service.
wheres AFL?
oh wait – melbourne only sport clearly no on cares about 🙂
Should be on FOX Footy I think. Code bashing gets you a warning around here.
