The 2025 AFL season is here, and this year there are more ways than ever to watch the GIANTS in action.
While the best way to watch a GIANTS home game is live at ENGIE Stadium or Manuka Oval, we know not everyone can make it to the game, so we’ve put together the below info to help make sure you don’t miss a second of the action.
Here are the broadcast timings for NSW and ACT viewers for the first 15 rounds:
All times Sydney local time.

All Saturday games are live only on Fox up until and including round 10 in New South Wales and ACT.
The broadcast schedule for rounds 15-24 will be confirmed when the fixture is confirmed later in the season.
What is Super Saturday on Fox and how is it different?
A key change in 2025 is Super Saturday on Fox, meaning the only place to watch every Saturday game across the home and away season live is on Fox Footy, available on Foxtel and Kayo.
If you’re not already a member, sign up to a GIANTS Digital Membership today for just $35 per month which includes a 12-month Kayo premium subscription.
As part of Super Saturday on Fox, each state and territory has their own unique broadcast schedule regarding Saturday games and their availability on free-to-air.
For those in NSW and the ACT, this means that the GIANTS’ first four Saturday games up until round 10 (R3, R6, R7, R10) will all be available on free-to-air via Seven/7 Mate and 7plus, but on a delayed basis.
After round 10 Fox will no longer have exclusive rights to Saturday games in NSW and the ACT and any GIANTS games played on a Saturday will be live on free-to-air and online on 7plus with no delay. (See full broadcast guide further down)
What is 7plus?
7plus is the Seven Network’s free streaming service that is now streaming AFL games in 2025. You can download the app to watch from your smartphone or tablet or watch via desktop or a smart tv at 7plus.
7plus will feature all Seven Network games live, select Super Saturday games on delay, as well as eight-minute highlights of every AFL match.
When can I watch GIANTS games on free-to-air?
The good news is you’ll always be able to watch the GIANTS on free-to-air in NSW and the ACT, just note that our four Saturday games across the first 11 rounds will be on delay.
For Saturday daytime matches (of which the GIANTS have two in the first 11 rounds), the game will be held back by 120 minutes from first bounce for the local audience.
For Saturday night matches (of which the GIANTS have two in the first 11 rounds), the game will be held back by 90 minutes from bounce or 8:35pm local time (whichever is earlier).
All the national free-to-air games will also be on Binge (Thursday night, Friday night and Sunday afternoon).
I’m a GIANTS fan but I live in a state outside of NSW or the ACT, how can I watch?
All GIANTS games will be shown live nationally on Kayo and Foxtel each week, as well as select games on the Seven Network and 7plus throughout the year.
When the GIANTS play interstate teams (excluding Victorian teams), the match will be broadcast on Seven/7 Mate and 7plus in the state local to what team the GIANTS are playing.
For example, in round six when we play the Crows, SA viewers will be able to watch the game on Seven/7 Mate and 7plus, but on delay as it’s part of Super Saturday.
Check your local tv guides for more information on free-to-air broadcasts each week.
How do I keep up with the weekly broadcast schedule?
Each week – usually on a Tuesday – we will release our Game Day Guide with everything you need to know ahead of our game that week.
The Game Day Guide will be located on our Match Day Hub.

AFL Finals Series
There’s no change to where finals will be broadcast under the new deal, apart from the addition of 7plus streaming.
Every match in weeks 1-3 of finals will be shown on both Seven and 7plus as well as Foxtel and Kayo.
The Toyota AFL Grand Final will be exclusively available on Seven and 7plus.
