TV Guide: Japan vs Socceroos Tuesday, October 12th on 10 Bold

The Socceroos are on a historic 11-game winning streak and will be looking to extend the record to 12 when they face Japan at Saitama Stadium in the AFC Asian Qualifiers – Road to Qatar on Tuesday evening, live and in HD from 8.30pm AEDT on 10 Bold and simulcast on 10 Play.

Japan's qualifying campaign has been derailed by two defeats in three games and the Socceroos will be looking to take advantage of their long time rivals' dip in form, and build on their own success by registering their first win over the Samurai Blue on their home soil.

In May, ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand and the Australian Professional Leagues (APL) announced a landmark media partnership deal worth $200 million. The five-year agreement aims to give Australian football the greatest reach it has ever had.

In a second announcement in June, ViacomCBS spent another $100 million in a contract with Football Australia to secure more soccer broadcast rights. The deal will see all the Australian National Teams and the FFA Cup matches broadcast across Network 10 and Paramount+.

The $100 million will be spread across a three year deal, and gives ViacomCBS the broadcast rights to all national teams (Socceroos, Westfield Matildas, Young Socceroos, Young Matildas, Joeys and Westfield Junior Matildas) owned or controlled by Football Australia, as well as AFC Asian Qualifiers – Road to Qatar, AFC Asian Cups and, other AFC tournaments until 31 December 2024.
