The weekly show features discussions and debates on the previous week's sporting news and events, along with guest interviews and other sporting highlights from both Australia and internationally.

History

The show aired its debut episode on 5 March 2017, and was a replacement for the long running Wide World of Sports program after host Ken Sutcliffe's retirement in 2016.[2] The debut season was hosted by television presenter Emma Freedman.

It was announced on 8 February 2018 that host Emma Freedman had left the Nine Network to take up a position at the NRL-based channel Fox League.[3] James Bracey replaced Freedman as host from 2018.[4]

Journalist Roz Kelly took over the hosting role from Bracey in May 2022, following his appointment to sports presenter of Sydney's nightly Nine News bulletin.[5]

Nick McArdle is the primary fill in host whenever Roz Kelly is unavailable.
