Four-time AFL premiership champion and respected analyst Shaun Burgoyne will officially join Fox Footy in 2025.

Burgoyne, who played 407 games for Port Adelaide and Hawthorn between 2001-21, has established himself in commentary since his retirement at the end of the 2021 season.

In a glittering career that started as the No. 12 pick in the 2000 national draft, Burgoyne became the first Indigenous Australian player in elite Australian rules football to reach the 400-game milestone, as well as the fifth player overall in the VFL/AFL.

An All-Australian in 2006, Burgoyne won his first premiership medallion with the Power in 2004 before playing an integral role with the dynastic flag-winning Hawks between 2013-15.

The now-42-year-old is the first of several experts expected to sign with Fox Footy in new roles next season as they bolster their ranks ahead of a highly-anticipated 2025 season.

For at least the first eight rounds nationally and at least the first 15 rounds in Victoria, the only place fans will be able to watch AFL live on a Saturday will be on Kayo Sports or Foxtel — this will be referred to as ‘Super Saturday Live’.

“Shaun is a straight shooter with a trusted opinion and has earned the respect of all football fans,” Fox Sports Managing Director Steve Crawley said.

“He is football royalty and he wants to work at Fox Footy.”

Burgoyne will take his place at Fox Footy next season alongside other legends and fan favourites including Melbourne icon Garry Lyon, former Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley, Brisbane Lions great Jonathan Brown, Hawthorn legend Jason Dunstall and many more.

During the 2025 AFL season, Fox Footy commentary and production will be available on all games for the first time along with no ad-breaks during play and every match will also be made available in 4K on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
