The Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) sports media and tech industries are experiencing unprecedented growth, with both countries having deep sports traditions such as rugby, cricket, AFL, NRL netball and football with huge fan followings and a growing digital engagement. Additionally, they are co-hosts of major international sporting events including the recent Women's World Cup and the future 2028 ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup, plus Australia are hosting a slate of upcoming events including the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026, Men's Rugby World Cup 2027, Women's Rugby World Cup 2029 and in the starting blocks for the "green and gold runway" to Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. How are these events and sports leaning into innovation for a whole new up and coming generation who consume sports very differently? How are these regional players from broadcasters to streamers to sports properties, start-ups and digital content platforms forming strategic partnerships and reshaping the way Australians consume, interact with, and monetize sports content?

Streaming piracy has evolved into a complex criminal ecosystem in Asia, built on illicit IPTV services, account-resharing markets, pirate apps, and malware-infected ISDs. Consumers now face serious risks—including phishing, identity theft, botnet recruitment, fraudulent IPTV sellers, and loss of personal data—while platforms, banks, and regulators grapple with increasingly sophisticated piracy networks. This panel explores practical and coordinated responses to combat streaming piracy: strengthened platform moderation, advertising and payment-flow disruption, site-blocking and fast-track judicial processes, improved blocking systems, cross-border cooperation, and consumer-protection messaging that reframes piracy as a cyber-risk. Speakers will discuss how aligned action can significantly reduce harm and dismantle illicit streaming supply chains
