Hoyts is building theatres, Intel and Logitech are sponsoring events and teams and now Fox Sports has committed to broadcasting eSports via the new E-League football competition.

Fox Sports coverage will be hosted by Brittany Austin, with FIFA YouTubers TheMasterBucks and JarradHD joining in, along with Matildas and Sydney FC star Amy Harrison and eSports analyst Nathan Patrick.

Live streams of all games will be available on Fox Sports E-League page.
