Looking
for a Place
to
Watch Live AFL?

Why
Legal
Matters!

By watching AFL legally you'll be getting the highest video quality available to you while also supporting the sporting codes right down to local grassroots competitions.

  • Security

    You'll be safe from fraud, ID theft, malicious software and hacking when streaming content from a reputable site.

    Over 2 million Aussies say they've experienced fraud, ID theft or hacking from using dodgy sites.

  • Criminality

    You'll be guilt free knowing that you're not supporting the organised crime networks that run the illegal streaming services.

    One of the ways dodgy sites earn revenue is from the advertisements shown on every page you visit.

  • Exposure

    You'll be protected from exposure to the inappropriate content that is usually displayed on dodgy download or streaming sites.

    You're 8.5 times more likely to be exposed to content that is inappropriate when using dodgy sites.

Where to watch live AFL in Australia

The AFL is Australia's biggest sporting code, and Grand Final day is the biggest day on the local calendar. Whether you barrack for one of the founding Victorian clubs, follow the Lions and Suns in Queensland, or stick with the Swans and Giants in NSW, there are legal, high-quality ways to watch live AFL every round of the season.

Most of those free sports streaming sites host pirated feeds that can hit you with pop-ups, scams and malware.

The urge to find an AFL live stream free on unofficial sites is real, but those streams come at a cost: malware, stolen logins, intrusive ads, and dropped streams right when the margin is two points and the siren is about to sound. They also take money away from the clubs, the players, and the women's competition that's still building.

Australian footy fans are spoilt for choice when it comes to legitimate options​:

  • Channel 7 and 7+ carry AFL matches free-to-air, including the AFL Grand Final, so you can watch live AFL free every week.
  • For full coverage, Kayo Sports and Foxtel stream every AFL game live, every round, every season, plus the AFLW and the pre-season competition.
  • Download the official AFL Live App​ for access to live match updates, highlights, news, and stats.

If you've been searching for live footy free streaming or trying to stream live Australian football free, you don't need to go anywhere shady. Free-to-air coverage, free trials on subscription services, and HD streams without ad pop-ups are all available.

How to
Identify
a
Dodgy Site…

  1. It offers streaming for free when it has a cost on official sites.

  2. It displays advertising promoting gambling or pornography.

  3. It claims to provide access to multiple streaming services for incredible prices.

On dodgy sites, you're 3 times more likely to become a victim of fraud, ID theft or hacking.
