Attention Freo fans.
Our first three games of the home-and-away season will be on a delayed free-to-air broadcast, two of which will be home games for Fremantle.
As was the case under the previous broadcast deal, all matches featuring the eight non-Victorian clubs – Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney, Greater Western Sydney, Adelaide, Port Adelaide, West Coast and Fremantle – will be broadcast on Channel Seven in those respective states. The difference under the current agreement is some of these games, if they fall on a Saturday, will be shown on delay on Seven and 7plus and live only on Foxtel and Kayo.
This is part of Fox Footy's Super Saturday arrangement under the current deal, which guarantees exclusive rights to live Saturday games in market-specific windows.
As we count down to the official launch of our 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, fans are reminded to ensure they are ready to catch our games live as we launch into 2026.
To give yourself the best chance to watch games live, Freo fans are encouraged to get tickets to our home games in Round 2 and Round 3, or consider getting a Kayo subscription to watch all our games live wherever you stream your footy.
