A full list of SEN’s play-by-play and expert commentators are listed below, including the one and only, Stephen Quartermain, who – as was announced late in 2024 - will join the AFL Nation team to broadcast Saturday afternoon games, plus other fixtures throughout the year.
SEN will be the home of all AFL programming throughout 2025, which can be heard on all SEN radio stations across Australia and syndicated to ACE Radio, Super Radio Network, Ngaarda Radio and Cruise 1323am in Adelaide*. Fans will also be able to access AFL Nation calls for every game via the SEN App, with the ability to also use SEN Sync – for a premium at-home broadcasting experience – and SEN Stadium – for a zero-latency broadcast experience for fans in-stadium.
