The 2025 AFL Grand Final between the Geelong Cats and Brisbane Lions can be watched live and for free on Channel 7 and the 7Plus streaming platform in Australia. The match starts at 2:30 PM AEST on Saturday, September 27, 2025. 7Plus allows streaming in full HD on multiple devices including phones, tablets, and smart TVs without a subscription, but viewers need to register for a free account. Pre-game, live game, and post-match coverage are all available on these platforms. For viewers outside Australia, the official method to watch live is through the WatchAFL service, which offers a subscription-based streaming with live and on-demand access to all AFL games, including the Grand Final. WatchAFL supports streaming on computers, mobile devices, and TVs using Chromecast or Airplay. If outside Australia, some fans use a VPN to access the free 7Plus stream by connecting through an Australian server, but this is subject to VPN reliability and terms of service. In summary:
- In Australia: Watch free live on Channel 7 or 7Plus app (register for free).
