How to watch Carlton Blues vs Adelaide Crows AFL live and free

Carlton's finals hopes may be hanging by a thread, but it's been an encouraging season as they prepare to face Adelaide. This is how to watch.
Barring a miracle finish to the year, Carlton fans may lament what could have been in 2020 as the finals appear just out of reach. But when they look back at season's end, they will have to acknowledge progress has been made in coach David Teague's first full year at the helm.
It was all looking disastrous for Crows counterpart Matthew Nicks in his first shot at a head coaching gig. Winless through 13 games, Nicks and Adelaide were under enormous pressure. Yet with consecutive wins now under their belts, that spotlight has diminished as the year draws to a close.
When is Carlton vs Adelaide?
The 2020 AFL draw has surely been the most unconventional on record. This is the penultimate regular season game for both sides, getting underway at 1:05pm AEST on Sunday 13 September at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.

Many of the Blues' stars and emerging talents, like Patrick Cripps, Sam Walsh and Harry McKay, have taken steps together individually and as a team in 2020. The future is looking bright after too many lean years for this huge club. The Crows will be buoyed by their past fortnight, but Carlton should be able to get the job done on the Gold Coast.
