Rivals: Sport vs. Sport, stylised as RIVALS, is an Australian sports reality competition show that aired on Foxtel and Kayo Sports between March and April 2026.[1]
The show, which spans across eight episodes,[2] pits teams from three sports (Australian rules football, rugby union, rugby league) against each other in science-based athletic challenges measuring speed, agility, power, and endurance.[3][4] Teams accrue points across the various different challenges, which aggregate over the span of series. Each sport is represented by four athletes (two men and two women), competing equally in a large-scale mixed-gender format.[3][5]
The challenges were designed with oversight from the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).[2][6]
