The best way to watch AFL depends on location:

• Outside Australia, the official way is through WatchAFL , the international streaming service offering live and on-demand matches of the Toyota AFL Premiership, Finals Series, NAB AFL Women's Competition, and more. It works on mobile, tablet, computer, and TV via apps or web and supports downloads for offline viewing. WatchAFL requires a subscription with flexible weekly, monthly, and annual plans.

• In New Zealand, AFL games are also broadcast live on Sky Sport. The WatchAFL app is also available there for streaming games live or on-demand on various devices.

• Within Australia, free and live coverage including AFL, AFLW, and other football leagues is offered on streaming platform 7plus. Additionally, streaming services like Kayo Sports offer live and on-demand AFL coverage with subscription.

In summary, for international fans or those outside Australia, the recommended official source is WatchAFL. For viewers in Australia, 7plus and Kayo Sports are popular streaming options, while in New Zealand Sky Sport broadcasts live matches.
