If you need to compare your options in Australia, and learn about the stunning new Kayo Sports service, we have a dedicated article here. But what if you’re travelling overseas just as your favourite team is gearing up for an important match? No worries – you have some options.

The easiest way to keep up with the AFL and watch AFL live overseas is with Watch AFL. This is the official platform to watch every AFL match live and on-demand while travelling outside Australia. You can get weekly, monthly or yearly passes to make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action. They’re priced at $19, $33 and $189 respectively.

The platform brings you every AFL Premiership and Finals Series match as well as every AFL Women's, AFLX and JLT Community Series match. Plus, you get access to the 24/7 FOX Footy channel with news, analysis and entertainment. The latter includes a host of programming including chat shows, interviews and lighthearted commentary.

The Watch AFL platform allows you to pause and rewind live matches or download matches for offline viewing. You can watch on your computer (Mac or PC) via the Watch AFL website or download the app on your mobile (iOS, Android, Windows Phone) device. To catch the action on the big screen, watch on your TV with Airplay or ChromeCast or via the Watch AFL Apple TV app. This is how you watch AFL online overseas.

Alternatively, you could use a VPN to hide your address and access your existing Foxtel Now or Kayo Sports accounts to stream the games, but we would advise against it. It’s not really complying with the streaming platform’s terms of service. However, AFL has a considerable number of international broadcast partners that show games in overseas countries. You can check the AFL website to see which countries broadcast the AFL.

How to watch AFL online free overseas

In the perfect world, we'd be able to watch all of our favourite sports from home while travelling overseas. But if you have even looked into the maze of broadcast rights for live sports, you'll know that will never be the case. So unless you can find and brave an ad and virus infested illegal stream, you're out of luck. That said, the rights to broadcast AFL have been sold to some overseas cable TV providers. This means it is possible for you to find AFL on in a local pub, or potentially on the TV at your place of rest. If you are staying long-term somewhere, it's definitely worth doing our research to see if any of the local TV providers broadcast AFL. However, when you compare the prices, you may still be better off with the Watch AFL Global Pass.
