Sport 927 (callsign 3UZ) is a Melbourne radio station dedicated to covering horse and greyhound racing. While much of the station is dedicated to Gallops, Harness and greyhound racing, it does also cover other sports.

Unlike the other Australian racing networks, Sport 927 is owned by the state's racing industry, and not by its monopoly betting agency.

The breakfast program with Michael Christian and Angela Pippos starts at 5.30am weekdays with "Prime Time Sports Interactive". Weekday mornings from 9am, Steve Moran hosts "Racing Central" and covers all things racing including news updates and late mail until 10am. Nadia Horne takes over until 1pm as host of "Winners" covering all racing broadcasts, Australia-wide form, essential wagering elements and interviews from a punting perspective. Afternoons and nights are the National Racing Service which broadcasts live feeds of race meetings from all over Australia, New Zealand and from other countries like Hong Kong, England and South Africa. Evenings feature Andrew Kuuse with his "Sportstalk" program. During the 12am-5am shift, Trevor Himstedt and Grant Boyden host Nightmoves.

As well as live racing coverage, the weekends deliver Casting Off, The World Of Bowls, Escape and the longest running program of its type on Australian radio, The Family Counsellor with Fr. Gerard Dowling. [cite web |title=Program Guide |url=http://www.sport927.com.au/sport927/programGuide.asp |date=2007 |accessdate=2008-07-08 |publisher= [http://www.sport927.com.au Sport927] ]
