The Bounce was an Australian sports television program which debuted 24 March 2010 at 6:30pm in most states (25 March at 12:30am in NSW and QLD) on the Seven Network.[2]

The Bounce was also a variety program based on Australian rules football program, hosted by comedian Peter Helliar.[2] It features former Australian rules footballers Matthew Richardson and Leigh Matthews.[2]

After five episodes, on 22 April 2010, the Seven Network announced that they stopped the show 'indefinitely' until the finals series in September due to poor ratings in the AFL heartland of Melbourne. Suddenly, the program was never brought back and the future of the show is unclear. Seven broadcast Game Day: Prime Time on Thursday nights during the finals series.
