Kate Allman sports event MC

Hi,

I’m a freelance journalist, TV presenter, live sports commentator and major events host/MC based in Sydney, NSW Australia.

I have a broad and unique combination of experience across TV, print and online media, having worked as a commentator, emcee, editor, reporter and producer in a range of platforms.

I’m a female host and play-by-play commentator on live sport broadcasts including Australia’s top-tier football (soccer) league, the A-League Women, and the top international women’s club soccer tournament in Asia, the Asian Football Confederation’s (AFC) Women’s Champions League. Known as “the voice of American football in Australia”, I’m also a lead/play-by-play commentator on American football, gridiron and NFL flag football matches in Australia and internationally. Working with the International Federation of American Football, I have been a sideline commentator on the World Championships in Finland in 2024, and was the lead commentator (play-by-play) for the World Games of American Football / Flag Football in 2025.

My experience ranges across numerous other sports as a caller on field hockey league Hockey One, Swimming Australia’s Age and National Championships, Athletics NSW race meets, Sydney Hockey Leagues and Football NSW National Premier Leagues. I’ve filed sport reports and analysis for live TV, national newspapers and international broadcasts from some of the biggest sporting stages.

I also regularly emcee, host and ground announce at game days and events including sports, corporate conferences, fundraisers, lunches, dinners.

Aside from sport, my passion is travel - which I write about for a range of travel publications both in Australia and internationally.

I’m a director on the board of the Kennedy Foundation for Journalism and Biathlon Australia, and a co-founder of Equal Pay for Equal Play.
