Rivals is a world-first hybrid series that fuses observational documentary, elite sport, and reality competition - bringing Australia’s three football codes head-to-head to settle the ultimate debate: which code produces the best all-round athletes.

Across a fast-moving season - strategy, performance and pressure collide. Plans are made, pressure builds, and everything plays out in the Arena and on the leaderboard. You can’t hide. Every choice has consequences. The result is a high-stakes, high-performance contest that delivers both elite sport and human insight – capturing the intensity, camaraderie and rivalry of athletes fighting not just for themselves, but for their fans and the reputation of their entire code.

A series that feels like live sport, plays like a competition, and unfolds like a documentary—Rivals turns a century-old debate into must-watch television.
