How to watch an AFL live stream

Open the AFL page, pick a match and choose one of the listed sources to start watching in your browser. Each source is an independent third-party stream, so picture quality, commentary and delay differ, and if one stalls in a tight final quarter you can switch to another straight away. Matches that are live now appear at the top, followed by the rest of the round in bounce-down order. There is no account and nothing to install.

Premiership season, finals and AFLW

The AFL Premiership season runs from March to August, including Opening Round and Gather Round, before the Finals Series in September. The Grand Final at the MCG is one of the biggest days in Australian sport. AFLW runs from August to November, and state leagues such as the VFL and SANFL appear when providers stream them. Coverage depends on what third-party providers carry each week, but finals and marquee matches usually have the most sources.

Watching AFL from outside Australia

AFL matches are played on Australian time, so a Friday night game in Melbourne usually starts in the morning in the UK and Europe, while weekend afternoon matches can fall overnight. Rerace converts every bounce to your local time with a countdown, so you do not have to work out the time difference or keep track of daylight saving changes in either hemisphere. The Grand Final usually lands on a Saturday morning in the UK, ideal for a breakfast of footy.

For a smooth AFL live stream, use Wi-Fi or a wired connection, close other tabs and switch sources if the picture buffers rather than refreshing the page. On a phone or tablet, turn to landscape and use the player’s full-screen button. Smart-TV browsers work too, and you can mirror a browser tab from your laptop or phone if your TV browser struggles with a particular player.

Frequently asked questions

Can I watch the AFL Grand Final on Rerace?
Yes. The Grand Final is listed when third-party providers stream it, along with the other finals they carry. It is traditionally played at the MCG on the last Saturday of September, which is early on Saturday morning in the UK.
Do you show AFLW matches?
Yes. AFLW matches are listed during the season, which runs from August to November, when providers stream them. Coverage of AFLW can be more limited than the men’s competition, so check the page closer to the bounce.
What time do AFL games start in the UK?
It depends on the slot. Friday night matches usually start between about 9am and 11am UK time, while Saturday and Sunday games run from the early hours to mid-morning. Rerace shows each bounce in your local time automatically.
Are VFL and other state league games covered?
Sometimes. Rerace lists state league games from competitions such as the VFL and SANFL when third-party providers stream them, but coverage is less consistent than for AFL matches.
