Australians have always had a passionate love affair with sport. We're also a nation of early adopters, catching new technology in our hands and running with it while the rest of the world catches up. While Foxtel is still the dominant force in sports broadcasting and anti-siphoning laws ensure that free-to-air TV gets its fair share of sporting matches, the Internet is rapidly becoming a force to be reckoned with in how Australians watch their favourite sport.
Depending on the sport you want to watch, there are a generally a few ways to watch your team play online. There's a growing trend towards dedicated apps, which promise not only live broadcasts but conveniently curated highlight reels, plus interview shows, on-demand replays and even multiple camera angles.
These apps are generally available for mobile and tablets on both iOS and Android platforms, but there are also Smart TV and streaming device apps that let you enjoy a dedicated big screen experience.
Because the Internet is global, there's also the ability to access global sporting competitions, with apps for US sports like the NBA and NFL all readily available, with an annual subscription pass offering access to the games.
We're still a long way away from streaming becoming the dominant way to watch your favourite sporting match, with big money spent on broadcast rights for all the major Australian sports. In many cases, the only way to watch certain sports online is via Foxtel Now, which retransmits the Fox Sports channels through the Internet.
