Future Stars (formerly TAC Cup Future Stars) is an Australian sports television program which focuses on the TAC Cup, under-18 Australian rules football competitions and young prospects of the AFL. It premiered on Sunday, 10 May 2009 at 1:00pm on GTV-9 in Melbourne,[1] and features game highlights, interviews and analysis of the top prospects to be nominated in the AFL draft.[1]

Originally known as TAC Cup Future Stars, Future Stars was hosted by Craig Hutchison (2009-2014),[1] whose production company, Crocmedia, is producing the show.[1] Former Hawthorn player, Ben Dixon, and AFL talent scout, Kevin Sheehan were panellists from the start, with Terry Wallace joining in 2010.

In 2009,[1] Sport 927's Angela Pippos reported from the field.[1]

In 2015, former Richmond and Western Bulldogs forward Nathan Brown succeeded Hutchison as host in alignment with the rebranding to its current name. A revolving special guest panellist and current AFL player usually sits on the panel to round the show.
