While AFL might be a mystery to some, there are plenty of us who can’t wait for the first bounce on matchdays. When it comes to finding out where to catch every pass, kick, tackle and goal, supporters have lots of choice, but which ones are worth tuning in for? In this guide, Canstar Blue looks at where you can access live matches, replays and extras to get your full AFL fix.
How to watch the AFL
AFL games are available to stream on both Kayo and Foxtel, with the official AFL app and Channel 7 on free-to-air TV also offering a number of coverage options. If you’re looking to catch every game of the season, Kayo may be your best option, with both live and on-demand replays of all games, including the Grand Final, available.
Watch AFL on Kayo
Offering live coverage and replays of every match from every round in the regular AFL season, Kayo also has fans covered when it comes to the Finals, including both live and delayed replay of the big day. If you’re big on all things AFL, Kayo might be the best option for you, covering all matches of the AFLW, the AAMI Community Series, coverage of the Rising Star Award Ceremony and the AFL Draft.

Watch AFL on Foxtel
Broadcasting on Fox Footy (channel 504) or Fox Sports (channel 503), Foxtel provides live streams and on-demand coverage of every game of the regular season, with all finals – except for the Grand Final. Foxtel is also home to a number of AFL talk shows and commentary to keep you up to date on all things footy, making it a handy option for those both new to the AFL or those who have been following for years.
Watch AFL on Channel 7
A free-to-air option, Channel 7 has secured part of the coverage for the AFL season, including all play-off matches and the Grand Final. Channel 7 will broadcast multiple games per week, with games shown on either Channel 7 or 7mate, although this will be dependent on which state you’re watching from.
- If you want to catch your team in action, be sure to check your local TV guides so that you don’t miss a second of play.
Listen to AFL on Radio
If you can’t make it to your spot in front of the TV, AFL matches are also available on radio, although the station will be dependent on your state and local network. If you’re not sure what to set your radio to, the official AFL website lists all broadcasting rights for each state, making it easier for you to catch all the action.
When does the 2024 AFL season start?
The AFL season starts on March 7, 2024 at 7:30pm AEST. The Melbourne Demons will take on the Sydney Swans.
How to watch the 2024 AFL Grand Final
The 2024 AFL Grand Final will take place on September 28, with kickoff generally starting in the early afternoon, although more information will be available closer to the game. Channel 7 will have the live broadcast, while you’ll be able to catch a full on-demand replay from Kayo once the final whistle blows, ideal for when you can’t make it to the couch in time.
