League Teams is a weekly Australian sports television series based on the Australian Football League (AFL) that airs on Fox Footy. It is currently shown on Thursdays at 6:30pm, to coincide with that round's team announcements. Hosted by Dermott Brereton, it also features members of the Fox Footy's commentary team every week during the AFL season.
History
The show was launched on the original iteration of Fox Footy Channel in 2002, and was hosted by Jason Dunstall. The show's panellists were Luke Darcy, former Geelong and Essendon player John Barnes, and former Sydney player Wayne Schwass. The show finished at the end of the 2006 season when Fox Footy Channel ceased operations, and it moved to parent channel Fox Sports. It continued there until 2012, when Fox Footy was launched and the show returned to an AFL-dedicated channel.
From 2007 to 2010, it was hosted by former footballer Brian Taylor. He was replaced by Dermott Brereton following the 2011 season, after Taylor's departure to the Seven Network.
