Direct answer: To watch England vs Australia rugby league (the Ashes) in 2025, you can stream it live on BBC One in the UK (also via BBC iPlayer) and watch on Channel 9/9Now in Australia, with additional options like Fox League and Foxtel/Kayo in Australia depending on your subscription. Times are typically local BST in the UK, with simulcasts or replays on BBC platforms; in Australia, kickoff times translate to late-night/morning depending on your time zone. If you’re traveling or outside these regions, you can use a VPN to access your home streaming services where available. Details by region
- United Kingdom: Live on BBC One with streaming on BBC iPlayer. This covers all three matches of the Rugby League Ashes series, including England vs Australia at Wembley.
- Australia: Live on Fox League and Channel 9 (and streaming via 9Now or Foxtel/Kayo). Free trials may apply for streaming services like Kayo.
- International viewers: BBC streaming can be accessible from many countries via BBC iPlayer if rights allow and the user has a valid license/registration where required; otherwise check local broadcasters or streaming partners in your region.
What to check before watching
- Confirm the exact kickoff times in your local time zone for the specific match you want to watch, as kickoffs can vary between games.
- Verify your streaming access: BBC iPlayer (UK), 9Now/Kayo/Foxtel (Australia), or Channel 9 for free-to-air coverage in Australia.
- If traveling, consider a VPN only if you are compliant with your streaming service’s terms of use and local laws.
If you’d like, specify your country and whether you prefer streaming or traditional TV, and I can give you the exact channel/service and any regional restrictions that apply for that location.
