The Footy Show is a Logie Award-winning Australian sports and variety entertainment television program, hosted by Craig Hutchison and Rebecca Maddern. It is shown on the Nine Network and its affiliates. The show, which is dedicated to the Australian Football League (AFL) and Australian rules football, made its debut on 24 March 1994. It is hosted by Craig Hutchison with Rebecca Maddern and Sam Newman.

The name The Footy Show derives from the diminutive form of the word football commonly used in Australian English.

The show airs twice each week:

From 1994 to 2012, The Footy Show usually aired at 9.30 pm AEST, However, on 28 November 2012, Nine announced that the show would air at 8.30 pm AEST.

In Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia, the show is aired on Thursday nights at 8:30 pm during the AFL season.

In 2008, the AFL version of The Footy Show could be seen live into most New South Wales and Queensland TV markets via the Nine HD channel. However, this was discontinued before the launch of GO! when Nine HD ceased breakaway programming. Since then, the show airs starting at 11.30pm.
