Seven's director of sport Chris Jones announced signings including Kane Cornes and Nick Riewoldt.

A new era of AFL is coming in 2026, streaming live & free on 7plus.

7Plus - Monday
Kane's Call, 7pm
Here's the one everyone will be talking about - Cornes is in the house. Sometimes divisive, sometimes combative, Kane Cornes now has his own show.

7Mate, Seven, 7Plus - Monday
The Agenda Setters, 7pm
Craig Hutchison will host, and his company, Rainmaker, will produce the Monday night edition of The Agenda Setters featuring Cornes and St Kilda great Nick Riewoldt, the latter making his major media return after an overseas sabbatical. The former St Kilda captain, like Cornes, is never short of an opinion.

Seven, 7Plus - Tuesday
The Agenda Setters 7pm
Cornes will be back, although Hutchison and Nick Riewoldt will not join him on a Tuesday. The Age's Caroline Wilson, who also quit Nine last year, is set to join this show.

7Plus - Tuesday/Wednesday
Unfiltered with Hamish McLachlan, 7.30pm
Hamish with his own one-on-one show. This will be produced by Hutchison's Rainmaker company, as it's also expected to air on SEN.

Seven, 7Plus - Wednesday/Thursday
The Front Bar, 8.30pm
This is a more light-hearted look at the game and those who live in the fishbowl that is the AFL. Guests who often played in the 1970s, '80s and '90s are a highlight, a time when the sport, still a part-time job for many, was far less filtered, and characters - and stories (some of which can be repeated publicly) - abounded. Comedians Mick Molloy and Sam Pang do an outstanding job, while Andy Maher is the host and straight man needed to pull his teammates into line.

Seven - Thursday nights
Live game coverage, time TBC
The network's overall calling team includes James Brayshaw, Brian Taylor, Hamish McLachlan and Jason Bennett, while Luke Hodge, Joel Selwood and Jobe Watson are among the special comments experts.

Nick Riewoldt will feature at halftime and post-match.

Bec Maddern at the breaks and Mitch Cleary will be on the boundary.

Seven - Thursday nights
Extra time, post-game
Seven will use their hosts and special comments stars to analyse the night's game, and report from the dressing room and press conferences. Chief football reporter Mitch Cleary is expected to be the man on the ground.

Seven - Friday nights
Live game coverage, time TBC

James Brayshaw with Alister Nicholson

Dale Thomas and Matthew Richardson provide special comments.

Seven - Friday nights
Extra time, post game
More news and analysis from that night's game, and what we can expect over the weekend.

Seven, 7Plus - Sunday
Sunday Footy Feast, noon-2.30pm
Eddie McGuire may be a long-time Nine man, but it hasn't stopped the indefatigable host from having his production company, JAM TV, produce a pre-game preview show airing from midday leading into Seven's marquee Sunday afternoon clash.

7Mate, 7Plus - Sunday
The Wash Up, 6pm
This hour-long review show follows the Sunday afternoon game broadcast.
Happens: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
