Last Updated: July 1, 2026

AUSPORTS+ is an independent sports information website created to help Australian fans find accurate, practical, and easy-to-understand information about their favourite competitions.

Our coverage may include the AFL, AFLW, NRL, NRLW, Super Netball, international and domestic cricket, rugby union, football, motorsport, tennis, basketball, horse racing, and other sporting events available to Australian audiences.

This Editorial Guidelines & Corrections Policy explains how we research, review, publish, update, and correct content on ausportsplus.com.

1. Our Editorial Mission

Our goal is to provide useful Australian sports information without unnecessary confusion or misleading claims.

We aim to help readers understand:

• Match dates and starting times
• Fixtures, results, ladders, and competition formats
• Stadium and venue information
• Television channels and streaming availability
• Team and player information
• Major sporting events and tournaments
• Subscription and viewing options
• Important schedule or broadcast changes

Our articles are written for informational purposes. We aim to make sports schedules and viewing information easier for fans to find and understand.

2. Editorial Independence

AUSPORTS+ maintains editorial control over the content published on the website.

Advertisers, affiliate partners, streaming providers, sporting organisations, clubs, ticket sellers, and other commercial businesses do not receive the right to approve or rewrite our editorial conclusions.

We do not accept payment in exchange for:

• Publishing deliberately favourable reviews
• Hiding important limitations of a service
• Changing match or broadcast information
• Promoting an unofficial service as an official provider
• Guaranteeing positive coverage of a product, team, event, or company

When commercial relationships, advertisements, or affiliate links are present, they do not change our responsibility to provide fair and accurate information.

Relevant commercial relationships may be explained in our Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure.

3. Research and Source Verification

Sports schedules, broadcast arrangements, team information, and competition details can change frequently. Our editorial team therefore reviews information using reliable and relevant sources before publication.

Depending on the subject, our sources may include:

• Official league and competition websites
• Official club and team websites
• Governing bodies and sporting organisations
• Verified fixture and results announcements
• Stadium and venue information
• Official broadcaster schedules
• Streaming-platform service information
• Competition regulations and media releases
• Reputable sports news organisations
• Direct announcements from teams, athletes, organisers, or broadcasters

For AFL coverage, we may consult information released by the AFL, AFL clubs, stadiums, and authorised broadcasters.

For rugby league coverage, we may review information from the NRL, participating clubs, venues, and relevant television or streaming providers.

For netball coverage, we may use information published by Netball Australia, Super Netball teams, competition organisers, venues, and broadcast partners.

Similar verification standards are applied to cricket, rugby union, football, basketball, tennis, motorsport, racing, and other sports covered by AUSPORTS+.

Whenever possible, important information is checked against a primary or official source rather than relying only on third-party reports.

4. Match Times and Time Zones

We take additional care when publishing match times because Australian competitions may involve several time zones and daylight-saving arrangements.

Our articles may display times in:

• Australian Eastern Standard Time
• Australian Eastern Daylight Time
• Australian Central Standard Time
• Australian Central Daylight Time
• Australian Western Standard Time
• The local time of the venue

Where practical, we identify the relevant time zone beside the starting time.

Readers should still check the official competition, club, venue, or broadcaster listing before the match begins, particularly when travelling interstate or watching an event affected by daylight saving.

5. Television and Streaming Information

AUSPORTS+ may publish guides explaining where Australian sporting events are expected to be shown.

Before publishing broadcast information, we aim to review available details from official competitions, broadcasters, television guides, and streaming services.

However, broadcast arrangements can vary according to:

• The viewer’s location
• Subscription package
• Device compatibility
• Blackout or territorial restrictions
• Free-to-air and pay-TV rights
• Late schedule changes
• Simultaneous sporting events
• Broadcaster programming decisions

We do not guarantee that every match will be available on every service, package, device, or location.

Readers should confirm current availability and pricing directly with the relevant broadcaster or streaming provider before purchasing a subscription.

AUSPORTS+ does not host live sporting broadcasts unless expressly stated. References to television channels and streaming services are provided to help readers locate legitimate viewing information.

6. News, Analysis, and Opinion

We aim to distinguish factual reporting from commentary, predictions, previews, and opinion.

News reports should be supported by identifiable information or credible sources. Rumours and unconfirmed reports should not be presented as established facts.

Articles containing predictions, rankings, match previews, or editorial opinions may include interpretation. These views should be presented clearly and should not be confused with official statements from a league, club, athlete, or broadcaster.

Headlines should accurately represent the article and should not deliberately exaggerate or misrepresent the available facts.

7. Affiliate Links and Commercial Content

Some AUSPORTS+ pages may contain advertising, sponsored placements, or affiliate links.

An affiliate link may allow AUSPORTS+ to receive a commission when a reader visits or purchases from a third-party provider. This generally does not increase the price paid by the reader.

The presence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee that a service will be recommended. Our editorial content should still disclose important restrictions, limitations, or eligibility requirements known at the time of publication.

Sponsored content, when accepted, should be identified in a way that distinguishes it from independent editorial coverage.

8. Content Review and Updates

Sports information can become outdated quickly. Fixtures may be postponed, venues may change, broadcasters may move games between channels, and player availability may change shortly before an event.

We periodically review important pages, including:

• Match and competition schedules
• Television and streaming guides
• Finals and tournament information
• Subscription and pricing articles
• Venue guides
• Team information
• Frequently asked questions

An updated date may be displayed when meaningful information has been added, corrected, or substantially reviewed.

A recently displayed update date does not necessarily mean every external service, price, or fixture has remained unchanged. Readers should verify time-sensitive details through the relevant official source.

9. Corrections Policy

Accuracy is important to AUSPORTS+. Nevertheless, mistakes may occasionally occur.

Possible errors may include:

• Incorrect dates or starting times
• Wrong television-channel information
• Outdated streaming availability
• Misspelled names
• Incorrect team, venue, or competition details
• Broken or incorrectly directed links
• Outdated prices or subscription information
• Misinterpreted official announcements

When a credible error is brought to our attention, we will review the relevant page and supporting evidence.

Minor errors, such as spelling, punctuation, formatting, or broken links, may be corrected without a separate correction notice.

A material correction may include an editorial note explaining:

• What information was incorrect
• What information replaced it
• When the correction was made

We will not remove accurate content merely because a person, team, company, or organisation dislikes the coverage. Removal or substantial alteration will be considered when content is inaccurate, unlawfully published, unnecessarily harmful, or no longer serves a legitimate informational purpose.

10. Correction Review Process

Correction requests are assessed according to the reliability of the evidence provided.

Our review may include:

1. Checking the published article.
2. Reviewing the source originally used.
3. Comparing the information with current official announcements.
4. Contacting an appropriate organisation when additional confirmation is necessary.
5. Correcting, updating, clarifying, or retaining the content based on the available evidence.

We aim to address clear and verifiable factual errors as promptly as reasonably possible. Complex requests may require additional investigation.

Submitting a request does not guarantee that the content will be changed. Decisions are based on accuracy, relevance, supporting evidence, and the public interest.

11. How to Request a Correction

Readers, clubs, athletes, sporting organisations, broadcasters, and event representatives are welcome to report possible errors.

Please contact AUSPORTS+ through our Contact Us page and include:

• The URL of the affected article
• The headline or section containing the issue
• A description of the information believed to be incorrect
• The correct information
• A link or document supporting the correction
• Your name and relationship to the subject, where relevant

Clear evidence from an official or primary source will help us review the request efficiently.

Abusive messages, unsupported demands, promotional requests disguised as corrections, and requests intended to manipulate legitimate editorial coverage may not receive a response.

12. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Editorial Tools

AUSPORTS+ may use digital research, editing, translation, data-processing, or artificial-intelligence tools to assist with content production.

These tools may support tasks such as:

• Organising fixture information
• Improving spelling and readability
• Formatting tables
• Summarising source material
• Identifying information requiring further review

Automated output should not be treated as an authoritative source by itself. Content involving match schedules, results, broadcast information, prices, or other factual claims should be reviewed against appropriate sources before publication.

Editorial responsibility for published content remains with AUSPORTS+.

13. User-Submitted Information

Readers may occasionally provide fixture updates, photographs, corrections, comments, or other information.

Submission does not guarantee publication. We may review, edit, verify, reject, or remove submitted material.

Users should not submit content they do not have permission to share. We may request evidence of ownership, permission, identity, or the accuracy of a submitted claim.

14. Conflicts of Interest

Writers and editors should avoid allowing personal, financial, or professional relationships to improperly influence coverage.

A relevant conflict may include:

• Employment by a company being reviewed
• A financial interest in a promoted service
• A close relationship with the subject of an article
• Receiving substantial benefits connected to the coverage

Where a conflict cannot reasonably be avoided, it should be disclosed or the assignment should be handled by another contributor.

15. Respectful and Responsible Coverage

We aim to cover athletes, teams, officials, supporters, and sporting communities respectfully.

We do not knowingly publish discriminatory, threatening, defamatory, or unlawfully invasive content.

Sensitive subjects, including injuries, disciplinary proceedings, private family matters, and allegations of misconduct, require additional care. Unverified allegations should not be presented as facts.

16. Independence and Non-Affiliation Notice

AUSPORTS+ is an independent sports information website.

Unless expressly stated, AUSPORTS+ is not affiliated with, authorised by, sponsored by, or endorsed by the AFL, NRL, Netball Australia, Cricket Australia, Rugby Australia, Football Australia, participating clubs, broadcasters, streaming services, stadiums, or other sporting organisations mentioned on the website.

League names, team names, event names, broadcaster names, trademarks, and logos remain the property of their respective owners. Their use on AUSPORTS+ is for identification, commentary, reporting, and informational purposes.

17. Policy Changes

We may revise these Editorial Guidelines and Corrections Policy as our website, editorial processes, and sports coverage develop.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
