How to watch 2025 NFL season in Australia

Live stream National Football League matches in Australia, including on Kayo Sports, NFL Game Pass and for free.

The 2025 NFL season just kicked off in America, launching 5 months of high-stakes matchups across 32 teams.

It all culminates in next year's playoffs and ultimately Super Bowl LX - where 1 team will be declared the 2025 champion of the National Football League.

For Aussie armchair quarterbacks, this translates to lots of late nights shouting at the telly.

But first you need to find the best way to watch.

Here are your main options for watching the 2025 NFL season in Australia.

How to watch NFL free in Australia

Select NFL games are available to watch on free-to-air TV exclusively on the Seven Network.

7Mate will broadcast the NFL's Thursday night games (late Friday mornings in Australia), and two Sunday afternoon games (Monday mornings in Australia).

In addition, you'll be able to watch on-demand shows, replays and highlights on the Seven Network's free streaming service 7plus Sport.


How to watch NFL on Kayo Sports

For the 2025 season, Kayo Sports will be streaming 6 NFL games per week on average.

Beyond having more weekly games than Channel 7, you'll find extra coverage like pre- and post-game analysis shows plus major events including the NFL Draft in April next year.

It also offers extra features like SplitView (watch up to four games at once), Key Moments (packaged highlights), Kayo Minis (condensed replays), Interactive Stats and No Spoilers (hides scores and key moments on the app interface.)

New customers can take advantage of a 1-month trial for $1. After that, subscriptions start at $30 per month (up to HD on 1 screen) or $40 per month (up to 4K on 2 screens).

The pass costs $36.99 a month, but you can also pay upfront through to 1 August 2026 for $349.99.

How many NFL matches are available on each streaming service?

Here's the number of games you'll get to watch on each service, including free to air TV.

Which option is best?

An NFL Game Pass grants you access to far more matches for around $7 extra per month.

However, a Kayo subscription includes a massive line-up of 50+ sports in HD.

So it really depends on how deep your fandom goes. If you like to watch a bunch of different sports, Kayo is the way to go. If you need every NFL game from the team you support, grab DAZN's NFL Game Pass.
