Watch every match from Emerging Matildas and Emerging Socceroos Championships
It is the second-straight year KommunityTV and News Corp Australia has partnered with Football Australia to bring the nation's flagship underage national championships to life on the small screen.
Those tournaments have been given a new lease on life in 2025 with the creation of the Emerging Matildas Championships and Emerging Socceroos Championships.
The Emerging Socceroos Championships will take place at the Home of the Matildas in Melbourne from July 6-11, while the Emerging Matildas Championships take over Sydney's Valentines Sports Park from July 15-20.
It's not just a name change according to former Matilda and Football Australia interim CEO Heather Gariock.
'This is about more than a name, it's about delivering a high-performance environment that identifies, nurtures, and prepares the next generation of elite Australian footballers, coaches, and match officials,' she said.
What hasn't changed is our level of coverage.
KommunityTV will exclusively live stream every match from both tournaments, with more than 170 games of football played across the two weeks of action.
'We're very pleased to continue our partnership with KommunityTV in 2025, providing live streaming of every match to ensure families, friends, and fans across the country can follow the action and support their local talent,' Garriock said.
'This partnership plays a vital role in connecting communities and giving these young players a platform to shine.'

Tournament schedules will be released shortly
WHY ARE THE EMERGING CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT?
The tournaments have been a proven breeding ground of Australia's top football talents, and provide the perfect springboard for the next generation to hit the global stage.
This has only been strengthened by the introduction of a more cohesive national pathway to the Socceroos and Matildas teams.
The tournament has also adopted a number of technical advancements in the past year with data-driven performance analysis, expanded competition formats, a national talent identification strategy and the inclusion of more target awards including a tournament Golden Boot, player of the final and fair play award.
'The transformation of the CommBank Emerging Matildas and CommBank Emerging Socceroos Championships reflects Football Australia's commitment to building world-class development pathways that align directly with our senior national teams,' Garriock said.
The pressure will be on NSW Metro's stellar girls football program after the sky blues took out both the Under-15 and Under-16 age group titles at the National Youth Championships last year.
One side who will be determined to press their case for a national title is the Northern NSW girls who managed to hold their gloves up against their high-powered rivals in last year's decider.
In the boys NSW Metro and Victoria shared the national honours last year after the sky blues came from behind to topple rivals Queensland in the decider.
The Victorian boys were completely unstoppable in the Under-15s tournament, going through undefeated and will hope most players back up for a run at the Under-16 title in 2025.
Live stream schedules for the girls tournament will be announced in late June, while the boys tournament will be released in early July.

South African spinner reported for suspect action on ODI debut as Zampa punished for swearing
South African spinner Prenelan Subrayen has been reported for a suspect bowling action after his debut one-day international, as Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa was reprimanded for using an audible obscenity in the same match on Tuesday night. Subrayen, who returned 1-46 in South Africa's opening ODI win over Australia in Cairns, was cited by match officials over concerns with the legality of his action. 'The match officials' report specified concerns about the legality of Subrayen's action,' the International Cricket Council said in a statement. The 31-year-old has two weeks to undergo an independent assessment at an ICC-accredited laboratory but can continue bowling until the results are known. With the second ODI in Mackay on Friday, South Africa may opt to rest him to avoid further scrutiny. Subrayen's action has been questioned before. Cricket South Africa deemed it illegal in 2012 before he was cleared in 2013 after adjustments. He was also reported in 2014 during the Champions League T20 in India and again in 2015. Subrayen took the key wicket of Travis Head, which triggered a major collapse and saw Australia lose 6-29 on their way to a surprise 98-run loss.

World No.3 Coco Gauff splits with coach Matt Daly just days out from US Open campaign
Two-time grand slam champion Coco Gauff has split with her coach just days out from the US Open main draw. The 2023 US Open and 2025 Roland Garros champion has parted ways with Matt Daly after just under 12 months together, but is continuing to work with JC Faurel, who will be joined by incoming biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan. Daly replaced Brad Gilbert last year, who was brought in after Gauff's fourth-round US Open exit. MacMillan, who is the founder of Sport Science Lab, has formerly worked with current world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka when she had issues with her serving action. He was seen working with Gauff at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday. Darren Cahill, the Australian coach of men's world No.1 Jannik Sinner, said MacMillan shapes as a wildcard for Gauff. 'A lot of things add up and this could be a really good relationship,' Cahill said on ESPN. 'He's very thorough. I've spoken to him many, many times before and the fact that he's got experience with different athletes from different sports, both male and female, he uses the new technology, he goes to the video a lot, really breaks down the biomechanics.' Chris Eubanks, who lost a men's qualifier for the US Open on Tuesday (local time), also appeared on court while Gauff practiced. 'He's always got her best interests at heart, so he's a great friend of Coco's,' Cahill said. Patrick McEnroe added: 'She wants to get better and she's open to hearing from different people. 'But it does tell you that there continues to be a problem with her serve, as it's been consistently inconsistent.' The American world No.3 was at the top of her game when she won the French Open earlier this year, but is 4-4 since then. 'It's crazy how quickly you can lose your confidence,' Mary Joe Fernandez told ESPN. 'You win a grand slam title and you think you're riding this wave and it's going to carry over and it doesn't always happen. 'For Coco, she had a really tough draw at Wimbledon, playing (Dayana) Yastremska in the first round, a big powerful hitter, so that was I think unfortunate for her not being able to work her way into the tournament. 'And then on the hardcourts she has struggled, primarily with her serve. I think that's the one shot that if she can settle down and find a way to feel confident that she's going to make a majority of her first serves and rely on what she did a couple years ago, winning when she wasn't playing her best and making her opponents beat her somehow, making it more physical, then I think she'll get back to it.'
