How to Watch the 2024 World Surf League live in Australia
Due to a break-through agreement, the Australian broadcast rights for the WSL in 2024 will be shared between Fox Sports and Network Seven’s streaming app, 7Plus.

Fox Sports, part of the Foxtel and Kayo Sports network, will have the broadcast rights to every World Surf League Championship Tour on the WSL calendar. That means you can watch all 11 stops on both the men’s and women’s tours LIVE, on either Foxtel, Foxtel Now, Telstra or Kayo Sports.
Likewise, WSL fans will have to the option to access live streams of the competitions on the free-to-air streaming platform 7Plus. Unfortunately though, Channel Seven will not be offering any live WSL events on terrestrial TV, so if you’re a die-hard fan who wants to enjoy the action on your Big Screen, you’ll want to look at the Fox Sports option.
