The Nine network’s Channel 9 is the official NRL free to air broadcast provider in Australia. This allows the network to show, on average, up to three live matches per week during the regular season, but very few matches on Saturday until the 24th round.

Channel 9 however, will air every match of the Finals Series, and the Grand Final, for which they have exclusive live rights.

If you want to watch every match from every round of the NRL regular season including the Final Series (Grand Final replays only), then Fox Footy is the best option for streaming the NRL free.

Foxtel and Kayo also own the complete rights to all regular season and Finals Series games in Australia, with the exception of the Grand Final. This includes the NRL on Super Saturday, a day when very few fixtures will go out on free to air until the final five rounds.

In addition to having exclusive rights to several matches per week, there’s also a variety of popular NRL programs that air through-out the week on Foxtel and Kayo, including NRL Tonight, NRL 360, The Late Show, The Fan Show, and several pre-game and post-game shows containing match break-downs and interviews.

Watch every game from every round of the NRL season + International Tests with a monthly no contract plan.
