Nine's Director of Sport Tom Malone said, "Wide World of Sports will launch a whole new look, feel and sound to its rugby league coverage in 2019.
"Including two new post-match shows to follow Thursday Night Football and Friday Night Football, with a strong emphasis on being at the ground, and interacting with players, fans and coaches."
After 25 years on the air, Channel Nine has axed The NRL Footy Show following continued plunging ratings.
The NRL Footy Show first aired in 1994 and won 11 Logies for 'Most Popular' show on Australian TV.
The sports program's axing follows poor ratings, a later time slot and budget cuts.
It's unclear what the cancellation means for the hosts future at Channel Nine.
Nine's Director of Sport Tom Malone said: "It's been an incredible ride for The Footy Show. A quarter of a century of laughs, controversy and first-class footy analysis.
"I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this amazing era of live sports-entertainment television – from producers, editors, camera operators, the players, guests and of course the legendary hosts.
