FOX SPORTS AUSTRALIA and Softball Australia have come together to promote Australian softball, with an agreement to show all Australian games from the WBSC Women's Softball World Cup Group Stage live on Foxtel and Kayo, starting tonight (Tuesday) at 8PM AEST.

Beginning this evening, Australian sports fans will be able to catch all five of the Aussie Spirit's games live, along with any playoffs should Australia progress. 

Softball Australia CEO Rosie Williams OBE expressed her thanks, saying "We're glad to be working with FOX SPORTS to broadcast this important event. The WBSC Women's Softball World Cup group stage is a really important event and if we do well we will be back in Europe next year to compete against the very best in the world. We’ve got some brilliant games coming up in our pool, with first-ranked USA, third-ranked Chinese Taipei, Great Britain, Ireland and Botswana standing in our way.

We can't wait for Australia to get behind our team in their World Cup campaign, with an exciting fixture against our Ashes foes in Great Britain to open the event."
