Football fans can also get their fix on free-to-air TV. Network Ten will be providing two live games a week from now until the tournament’s end. Tune in to 10 Drama at 5:00pm and 7:35pm (AEDT) on Saturdays. Just note that you won’t be able to watch A-League 2025/26 live in full - you’ll only get access to selected games!

A-League TV Guide and Streaming Rights

A-League broadcasting rights are with Paramount Plus and Network 10.

You can watch A-League live on 10 Drama and catch up on demand with 10Play. But if you want to watch all A-League regular season matches, you should sign up to Paramount Plus. It’s the only way to catch every game of the regular season and finals live and ad-break free, whistle to whistle.

Can I Watch A-League on Free-to-Air TV?

Clock in to 10 Drama on Saturdays to watch two live A-League games. Showtimes are:

  • 5:00pm (AEDT)
  • 7:35pm (AEDT)

You can also catch these specific games on demand on 10Play. However, while this is a free option, it isn’t necessarily the best way to watch the A-League action unfold.
