The 2025 AFL season will deliver the type of coverage never seen on such scale. In the first year of the league’s new $4.5 billion, seven-season broadcast deal, Fox Footy will now show all matches live complete with its own commentary teams, including in the marquee Friday-night slot, while the number of news and analysis shows have exploded, with Seven, Fox and Nine all making a splash.

It may have popped up as a topic of discussion around the barbecue, but many football fans have yet to fully comprehend that there will be no live free-to-air matches – in Victoria – on Seven on a Saturday through the home-and-away season under the new seven-year broadcast deal. Only the marquee Anzac eve, Anzac Day and Dreamtime games will be shown live on free-to-air, if they fall on a Saturday.
In terms of other states, Fox Footy/Kayo will have exclusive coverage through the opening eight rounds on a Saturday in South Australia and Western Australia, and through the first 10 rounds in NSW and Queensland.
That Seven’s live Saturday night game has essentially been shifted to a Thursday night means the overall number of free-to-air games will remain the same as under the previous agreement.
