SportsNight with James Bracey was an Australian sports news and analysis program broadcast on Sky News Australia four evenings per week. The show, presented by James Bracey, originated from the Sky News studio located in Macquarie Park, Sydney. It delivered coverage of both domestic and international sporting events and regularly included debates with a variety of guest commentators.
On 7 April 2015, the program showcased its inaugural all-female panel, featuring Rebecca Wilson, Melinda Gainsford-Taylor, and Liz Ellis. To commemorate this milestone, the studio was bathed in pink lighting for the broadcast.
A shorter, 30-minute edition of SportsNight was broadcast on the remaining three nights each week. Beginning 18 December 2015, a one-hour segment aired from Friday through Sunday, hosted by Luke Doherty.
Following James Bracey's exit from Sky News after four years, the show concluded on 15 December 2016. It was succeeded by an extended hour of Paul Murray Live, with no replacement host announced.
