AFL Saturday Matches Go Behind Paywall: Foxtel Snags Exclusive Broadcast Rights

In a significant shift for Australian sports fans, Saturday AFL matches will no longer be available on free-to-air TV in Victoria, Tasmania, and the NT. From 2025, Foxtel's Fox Footy will be the exclusive broadcaster of all Saturday games during the home-and-away season, marking a major change to the traditional TV landscape. This move is set to impact fans who rely on free-to-air TV for their AFL fix, with 'live sports streaming' and 'pay TV' becoming the new norm. As the 'AFL season' approaches, fans will need to adapt to this new era of sports broadcasting.
