Our Ultimate Sloth Weekend Sports TV Guide Australia is here to guide you through the best of weekend sports TV in Australia.
Problem is, it looks pretty thin this week. Footy seasons are over, there’s no league football in Europe, and after a triple treat of motor racing last weekend, all there is this week is the electronic kind.
Usually there is so much sport, and so many other jobs and people needing your attention on the weekend that our sloth Sloth Weekend Sports TV Guide picks the highlights. This week it is about scratching around for an accompaniment to the weekend.
We still offer up the Ultimate Sloth Weekend TV Sports Guide for Australia, a suggestion of the best of the Australian TV Sport this weekend.
You will of course need a subscription sports package, but any mad Australian sports fan couldn’t survive on a diet of Gus Gould, Stats McAvaney and the poor excuse Channel Ten have for their F1 coverage these days.
Ultimate Sloth Weekend Sports TV Guide Australia Highlights
Here’s a quick overview of what’s ahead, with the full Ultimate Sloth Weekend TV Sports Guide for Australia with times and channels following
RUGBY LEAGUE INTERNATIONALS
Australia take on New Zealand across three divisions this weekend – Men, Women and Juniors. Three straight games is enough to make it a lazy Saturday. Throw in Fox League are replaying all internationals from the year on Saturday morning beforehand including PNG smashing Fiji then it’s not a bad day on the lounge.
There’s also the UK Super LEague Grand Final which will hopefully provide a little more entertainment than the NRL version.
FOOTBALL
The circus that is Usain Bolt’s attempt to get into the A League with Central Coast Mariners continues on Friday night. We for one would love to see him make it, and he looked OK in his first trial when finally given the ball.
There’s also Football on BeIn Sports as the lower divisions (3 and 4) get their weekend to shine in the absence of everything else.
You could also sample one of the many Internationals via the Optus Sport App.
MOTOR RACING….OF SORTS
F1 ESports kicks off a new season this weekend, and for those who long for decent racing and accidents, the electronic gaming version of F1 might be for you. Replayed plenty over the weekend.
CRICKET
The second Test kicks off later in the weekend. Unless there’s a collapse at Fox Sports. The cycle of Marsh hate will surely kick in again soon.
TRIATHLON
Not necessarily of kind of thing, but this is the big event of the year where you mix a swim across the Pumicestone Passage with a Tour de France and then a marathon. These people are mad but must respected. It will go for a while but Slow TV is a new hit.

DRINK OF THE WEEK
It’s hard to imagine a weekend of sport on the lounge without a refreshing beverage, and each week we’ll recommend one for you as an accompaniment to all that sport.
THIS MONTH – SP LAGER
Nothing says refreshment like PNG’s finest beer. Why not have one.

OBSCURE SPORTING SHIRT OF THE WEEK
To get into the mood for a good weekend of slothing and sport, it’s always good to wear a sporting shirt of some sort to attempt to justify to yourself and others about all the slothing ahead. And of course, the more obscure the shirt, the more respect you’ll get.
THIS WEEK – 2002-03 Portsmouth Away Shirt
Since it is League One’s time to shine and Portsmouth are playing on TV, you could support them with a shirt.
Tan is a colour not used enough in Football kits.
It’s affordable via the Classic Football Shirts Website.
