AFL broadcast rights in 2026 follow a familiar split: a selection of free-to-air games each round, with the full fixture behind a subscription.
What's free
Seven broadcasts selected games each round on Channel 7 and 7mate, including Friday night football and the Grand Final. Every Seven game also streams free on 7plus with an account.
What's paid
Fox Footy shows every game of every round live, and Kayo Sports streams the same coverage. For clubs outside Seven's weekly picks, this is where you'll watch most of the season.
Kickoff times across states
The AFL publishes fixtures in local venue time. A 7:40pm Friday game at the MCG is 5:40pm in Perth and 7:10pm in Adelaide. Our match pages list the start time for every Australian state so you don't have to convert.
Finals
September finals get expanded free-to-air coverage on Seven, with every final simulcast on Fox Footy and Kayo.
