where can i watch the super bowl in australia

You’ve got a few good options to watch the Super Bowl in Australia, whether you want it free, streamed, or at a big watch party.

TV & Free Streaming

  • Free‑to‑air: The game is broadcast on Channel 7, usually either the main Seven channel or 7mate depending on your city. Check your local guide on the day so you don’t miss it.
  • 7plus: You can also stream it live for free via 7plus on smart TVs, phones, tablets, or in a browser, which is handy if you’re at work or on the move.

Sports Streaming & Pay TV

If you prefer full US‑style coverage, extra shows, or multiple devices:

  • Foxtel with ESPN: ESPN on Foxtel shows the Super Bowl live (typically Channel 509), including US network coverage and analysis.
  • Kayo Sports: Streams the same ESPN feed live, often with pre‑game and on‑demand replay if you can’t watch at kickoff time.
  • DAZN / NFL Game Pass: With an NFL Game Pass Season Pro subscription via DAZN, you can stream the game and get access to every NFL game in the season.

Kick‑off Time in Australia

Super Bowl LVX in 2026 is a Monday‑morning event in Australia because it’s played Sunday evening in the US. Typical kickoff and coverage times look like:

  • NSW, ACT, VIC, TAS (AEDT): Kickoff around 10:30 am; coverage often from 9–10 am depending on platform.
  • QLD (AEST): Around 9:30 am local time.
  • SA (ACDT): Around 10:00 am.
  • NT (ACST): Around 9:00 am.
  • WA (AWST): Around 7:30 am, with some venues opening early for breakfast service.

Always double‑check closer to the day because networks sometimes tweak start times.

Pubs, Bars & Watch Parties

If you want more atmosphere than your couch, lots of venues do special Super Bowl events with early opening, big screens, and American‑style food.

Some examples and ideas:

  • Major city sports bars: Places in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other capitals commonly promote Super Bowl mornings with big screens and breakfast menus; local “what’s on” and lifestyle sites keep current lists of venues.
  • Optus Stadium, Perth: In 2026 there’s a dedicated Super Bowl LX Watch Party at Optus Stadium, with live game coverage on stadium screens plus American‑inspired food, drinks, and a DJ. Tickets are sold in advance and it’s marketed as Perth’s biggest Super Bowl event.
  • Local pubs: Many suburban pubs and RSLs will quietly advertise “Super Bowl breakfast” or early‑opening specials, often listed in local guides or on their social pages.

If you’re in a capital city, it’s worth searching “[your city] Super Bowl watch party” and booking ahead, because the more popular venues fill quickly.

At‑Home Setup Tips

If you’re watching from home in Australia:

  1. Decide free vs paid: Free 7/7plus works well if you just want the game and halftime show; Foxtel/Kayo/DAZN are better if you care about pre‑game coverage and extra analysis.
  1. Check delays: Streaming services often lag live action by up to ~40 seconds, while cable and satellite are only a few seconds behind the stadium feed, which matters if you’re following live social media.
  1. Test your stream: Log into 7plus, Kayo, or DAZN 10–15 minutes before kickoff so you’re not troubleshooting at the national anthem.
