The A‑League Monday night fixture between Melbourne Victory and Wellington Phoenix will be available to viewers in Australia on free ad‑supported broadcaster 10 Play and the subscription service Paramount+ AUS, with the same broadcast team across both platforms: main commentator Teo Pellizzeri and co‑commentator Grace Gill (10 Play / Paramount+ AUS). 10 Play and Paramount+ AUS together carry a large portion of A‑League Men coverage in Australia and are the primary options for viewers wanting the live match feed and commentary for domestic audiences.

This article explains where and how UK readers can follow the game, outlines the broadcast team and their backgrounds, and provides practical viewing options and context for the fixture at AAMI Park (Melbourne Rectangular Stadium).

Match details and kick‑off time

The A‑League Men fixture is Melbourne Victory v Wellington Phoenix, scheduled for Monday 29 December 2025 at AAMI Park (also shown as Melbourne Rectangular Stadium), Round 10 of the 2025‑26 season; kick‑off is listed at 08:00 UTC on many live score services for the international match listing (which corresponds to local Australian evening time)./FotMob and other match pages list venue and schedule details for this fixture, including head‑to‑head records and match information for fans tracking form and line‑ups[2][3].

Primary UK viewing options and international access

For viewers in the UK the match is produced and broadcast by Australian rights holders 10 Play (free, geo‑restricted in Australia) and Paramount+ AUS (subscription). Both services normally enforce geographic rights, so UK fans will typically use one of the following approaches to watch live:

Follow UK broadcast partners’ highlights and condensed match packages: UK sports broadcasters and digital football platforms sometimes post highlights or wrap coverage after live Australian broadcasts; check BBC Sport, ITV Sport or Sky Sports schedules for highlights windows (subject to rights and timing).
Use international sports apps and live score services for real‑time updates: services such as FotMob and Sofascore provide live minute‑by‑minute coverage, stats and line‑ups for the match if you cannot access the live stream[2][3].
Access via official international streams where licensed: sometimes Paramount’s global platform or third‑party streaming deals (depending on nationwide rights windows) make matches available in other territories; viewers should check the Paramount+ service available in their country for A‑League listings and confirm regional availability.

Note: 10 Play is geo‑restricted to Australia and Paramount+ AUS requires a local subscription; using location‑spoofing tools to bypass region locks may contravene the services’ terms of use and local law—check local regulations and platform terms before attempting these approaches.

Broadcast team — Teo Pellizzeri (main commentator)

Gill is a well‑known figure in Australian football: a former Matildas (Australia women’s national team) player and A‑League Women professional, she has moved into broadcasting and punditry following a successful playing career.
