Any Given Sunday is an Australian television program that aired on the Nine Network. The show was not broadcast in NSW, the ACT or QLD, where The Sunday Roast screened instead.

At the start of the 2005 Australian Football League season, this one-hour panel show was created to air between the Sunday Footy Show and Nine's Sunday AFL game. The panel consisted of banter between Garry Lyon, James Brayshaw and Sam Newman, and in a way it was a sports wrap show in the vein of Wide World of Sports, however the sports results took a back seat to the humour of Newman and Brayshaw in particular.

Despite the fact that the show discussed all sorts of sports from around the world, its main focus remained AFL, as it previewed the Sunday matches. It always crossed to a commentator for the live 1:00 football match on Nine, usually Dennis Cometti or Dermott Brereton.

[edit] Format change

At the start of 2006, due to Eddie McGuire being appointed CEO of the Nine Network, circumstances meant that the regular team of Brayshaw, Lyon and Newman would be appearing on the revamped Footy Show, meaning that a Sunday-morning show with a similar lineup would be redundant. The show returned in Round 2 of the 2006 season with a different lineup, consisting of comedian Mick Molloy, former swimmer and Nine Network commentator Nicole Livingstone and a rotating third panel member - the first of which was Dermott Brereton.

The show was cancelled soon after the 2006 AFL Season.
