The Seven network is the official AFL free to air broadcast provider in Australia, showing a minimum of three live games per round, as well as every match of the Finals Series including the AFL Grand Final.

Channel Seven will televise AFL games on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, while the network’s Sunday broadcast goes out on 7Mate.

These AFL free to air options are live broadcasts only, meaning you can’t stream games via Network Seven’s streaming platform, 7Plus, as these rights belong to Foxtel and Kayo.

For comparison, the Fox Footy channel courtesy of Foxtel and Kayo Sports, will televise every match from every round live, and ad-break free, before the Grand Final. That equals up to five exclusive games each week.

This includes up to three exclusive matches on Saturday, and two on Sunday, as well as offering the option to stream every AFL match live (excluding the Grand Final) regardless of which network is carrying it.

Kayo Sports offers the same broadcasts as Fox Footy (Foxtel), meaning every match from every round (excluding the Grand Final) will be available live, and ad-break free during play. 

The Kayo Sports streaming platform also doesn’t come with a lock-in contract or set up fees, which means you can cancel anytime if you’re no longer using it.

All you need to decide is whether you want the Kayo One vs Kayo Basic plan. Kayo also currently offer new subscribers a free trial, which is more than enough to watch this week’s AFL action.

For fans who want to catch up on the action after the final whistle, Kayo Minis provide a 10-20-minute recap after the game is over.

Other Kayo features include Interactive Graphics, SplitView, No Spoilers and Key Moments, which provide highlights throughout the matches in real-time.
