AFL - Live on TV Aussie Rules
Australia 2026
The 2026 Australian Football League season is scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 19. The season concludes with the AFL Grand Final on Saturday, September 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
AFL matches can be watched live on both free-to-air and subscription television. Selected matches each round are broadcast live on the Seven Network, including key games and finals coverage, and these can also be streamed live through the 7plus platform. For viewers who want access to every match of the season, Fox Footy holds the rights to show all AFL games live, including those not available on free-to-air television. Fox Footy is accessible through Foxtel and can also be streamed via Kayo Sports, which provides full live and on-demand coverage of the competition.
The 2026 AFL Grand Final will see the Fremantle Dockers take on the Brisbane Lions at the MCG on Saturday, September 26. Fremantle reached the decider after a dramatic comeback win over Sydney, while Brisbane held off Hawthorn to keep their bid for a third consecutive premiership alive.
Brisbane are the market favourites heading into the Grand Final, with current odds around $1.62–$1.65, compared with $2.30 for Fremantle. The Lions’ finals experience and two consecutive premierships are major factors, although Fremantle have already shown they can beat Brisbane this season.
The Dockers won the most recent meeting 103–78 at the Gabba in Round 12, a 25-point victory. Fremantle led by as much as 51 points before Brisbane mounted a late comeback, with Jye Amiss, Patrick Voss and Josh Treacy combining for 11 goals.
Grand Final will be shown live and free on Channel 7 and 7plus, with Kayo Sports also providing a live stream with Fox Footy commentary. The game starts at 2:30pm AEST at the MCG.
