The Footy Show is an Australian Logie Award winning sports variety television programme covering professional rugby league in Australia. It is shown on the Nine Network and is currently hosted by former rugby league footballer and commentator Paul Vautin and journalist Erin Molan, and co-hosted by Beau Ryan and Darryl Brohman, with regular weekly appearances by Joel Caine and David Middleton. Having aired on Thursday nights since 1994 the programme is largely entertainment-based, with some football-related content included, such as previews of the weekend's fixtures and interviews with players.
The name The Footy Show derives from the diminutive form of the word football commonly used in Australian English.
The 24th season of the show premiered on 2 March 2017, following the Thursday night NRL fixture.
