When you think of streaming TV, your mind probably goes to movies and TV shows on Netflix. But watching live and post-match sports content is only growing in popularity in Australia.
From the explosive soccer matches from the Matildas to heart-wrenching sports docos, there are so many choices of streaming platforms. You can choose from pay TV packages, apps and even free catch-up TV options. Below we've broken down all the major contenders you can choose from, which offer what sports, their prices compared and any current offers.
Apple TV Plus
Best suited for: Major League Soccer fans or those after sports documentary content that are Apple TV Plus exclusives
Prices start from: $15.99 per month
Current offers: Seven-day free trial for new customers
Apple TV Plus also has a very limited selection of sports content, including Major League Baseball. Major League Soccer fans can get a Season Pass for $14.99 per month or $49 for the season subscription. Existing Apple TV Plus customers can get an MLS Season Pass for $12.99 per month or $39 for the season subscription.
When you purchase an eligible Apple device, you automatically can score three free months of Apple TV Plus plus they've been known to run the odd discount deal on Apple TV Plus here and there.
While it's definitely lacking an extensive collection of sports, Apple TV Plus has exclusively stamped its brand all over a bunch of popular sporting docos, including Messi Meets America, Swagger, The Dynasty, Real Madrid Until the End, and Stephen Curry Underrated.
beIN SPORTS
Best suited for: Fans of Football (Soccer), Tennis, Rugby Union and Athletics

Binge

Considering MUCH of Foxtel's sports content goes to Kayo Sports anyway, there isn't a massive market for sports on Binge. That said, you can still get Cricket and AFL content, and if that's all you're after, Binge is an affordable alternative to some pricier, sports-heavy services.
DAZN

If you've got a taste for all things American or heavy-contact sports, DAZN is the ideal streaming service for you. You can catch all the biggest events in boxing as well as MMA, Wrestling, extreme sports, Basketball, Tennis, Motorsport and more.
You can add on other subscriptions to your plan, for example an NFL Game Pass, Rally TV, European League of Football. Their prices are as follows:

Disney Plus
Best suited for: Those seeking ESPN access (aka a wide variety of sports) bundled with TV shows and movies
Prices start from: $15.99 per month
Current offers: Save 16% off an annual subscription
Understandably, the House of the Mouse streaming service isn't who you'd normally think of when it comes to signing up for sports content. However, in 2025 Disney Plus acquired the rights to ESPN content. This covers two live ESPN channels, Major League Baseball, National Basketball League, NCAA Football, FIBA EuroBasket, UFC and a range of other sports like Cricket, Softball, Lacrosse, Soccer (or Football), Ice Hockey, Gymnastics, Volleyball, Swimming, Diving and more.
There's also a selection of sporting documentaries to enjoy or, if you're looking for something really unusual, check out ESPN's The Ocho channel. It houses some of the strangest sports like Corgi Racing, Slippery Stairs, Major League Paintball and Dog Surfing.
Also keep an eye out for deals on Disney Plus as these happen more often than you may think.
Foxtel Now
Best suited for: Those wanting the largest collection of live HD sports content, including NRL and NRLW finals matches
Prices start from: $93 to $119 per month (for Foxtel's Essentials, Sports and Movies bundle)

If you want access to Kayo content plus some premium TV shows too, you might want to consider a subscription to Foxtel Now.

This will usually set you back an extra $84 per month, however until October 21 new customers can add it on for just $58 per month. So how does Foxtel compare to Kayo? Essentially you'll get all of Kayo's content, including NBA, NFL, NRL, NRLW, AFL, F1, Cricket, Supercars, UFC and Football. Just note, you won't have access to Kayo special features, like Split Screen and Key Moments.
Kayo Sports

Kayo includes some unique sports streaming features, like Split Screen, which allows viewers to watch up to four different games/sports simultaneously. Key Moments is another interesting feature, which shows you the best parts of a match to skip to if you just want the highlights. Kayo users can also choose to activate a No Spoilers button. This will hide scores and key moments as you enter the app in case you've missed the big game and log onto Kayo to catch up.
At the time of writing, its Standard plan sits at $30 per month. But if you opt for its Premium tier at $40 per month, you'll be upgraded to two screens and they don't have to be in the same household. So if you share an account with a mate, you'll both pay just $20 per month for a shared subscription, saving each of you $10 per month. Plus you'll get 4K access!
Otherwise you can hang out for one of Kayo's subscription deals.

If footy and wrestling aren't the kinds of sports you're into, fortunately, the options don't stop there. eSports continues to gain serious momentum year-on-year and Twitch is the ultimate eSport platform to view them all.
Not only can you stream live eSports tournaments like Rocket League, DOTA, and League of Legends but you can also tune into content streams where creators make music, bake, sew, develop software, sculpt, paint, and more. The possibilities are endless!
To comfortably stream Twitch content, we recommend investing in an NBN 50 speed tier or higher. Here are the cheapest plans across a range of speed tiers:
