REPORTS | by YouGov Sport ... Making decisions about how and when to re-introduce sport is a difficult and unprecedented process. That’s why it makes sense to have all available information to hand. This special report focuses on the attitudes of Australians towards sport’s return, providing a comprehensive analysis of fans’ beliefs and expectations. Every day we ask Australians about their views, attitudes and behaviours around sport, on specific teams and leagues and – since the outbreak of COVID-19 – about sports fans’ views on that too.

And we’re happy to share some of our insights with you in the shape of this special report.
