ABC SPORT Extra

ABC SPORT Extra is an additional sports stream from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, running alongside the main ABC Sport digital station. The public broadcaster's sports radio pedigree goes back to cricket commentary in the 1930s, the Grandstand block that became today's ABC Sport launched in 1990, and the digital station itself followed in 2011.

The ABC's sports output runs mainly commentary, news and talkback, and the corporation is the only national Australian radio broadcaster to carry sporting events live. Coverage spans cricket in all its formats, football from the A-League to the Socceroos and Matildas, AFL and rugby league, Australian Open tennis and the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.

The Extra channel gives that live coverage more room to breathe, and the whole service is free in English through the ABC listen app and the live web stream. For sports fans outside Australia, it is a dependable live commentary radio listen online, straight from the national public broadcaster.
