The best places to watch AFL live in 2025 are as follows:
- In Australia, live and free streaming of the AFL Finals is available on 7Plus, along with broadcasting on free-to-air channels 7Mate and Channel 7. For the full 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership season, Foxtel offers every game live with no ad breaks and 4K Ultra HD streaming, plus the dedicated FOX FOOTY channel for all AFL news and analysis.
- For international viewers outside Australia, the official streaming service is Watch AFL, which offers every AFL match live and on-demand, including the Finals Series and additional AFL-related content like FOX FOOTY. It is subscription-based and accessible worldwide except within Australia.
- In the United States, AFL Finals are broadcast on FS1 and FS2, accessible via cable or streaming through Sling and Fubo.
- In the UK, the AFL Finals are on TNT Sports, which can be accessed via subscription or through Discovery+.
- For viewers in Canada, the TSN network broadcasts all 2025 AFL Finals games, with the TSN Plus streaming service also available for a monthly or yearly fee.
- If traveling abroad and wanting to access the Australian free streams, a VPN service like NordVPN is recommended to access platforms like 7Plus as if from Australia.
There are official apps available, such as the Watch AFL app for international access with features like live, on-demand matches, offline viewing, and no ad- breaks during play.
In summary, access depends on location: Australians use 7Plus and Foxtel; international fans use Watch AFL; and other countries have local broadcasters with options for online streaming platforms and VPNs for abroad viewing.
