There will be numerous ways to watch or listen to every match of the 2015 Rugby World Cup available inside or outside Australian shores, be it online through live streaming, on TV, or Radio. This post is your comprehensive guide to following the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Live Stream
The only legitimate way to live-stream the Rugby World Cup in Australia is through the Foxtel Go or Foxtel Play apps.
Foxtel Go is available free if you have an existing Foxtel service, while Foxtel Play is better for those who only want to access Foxtel services through live-streaming, rather than have a traditional installation. It starts at $25 per month.
Every match of 2015 Rugby World Cup will be shown on Foxtel, so you’ll be able to watch all of them via Foxtel Go or Foxtel Play.
A live streaming service will also be available through a UK TV station ITV, showing matches live online or available for replay either through their main channel ITV or alternately through ITV4.
However, this service is geo-restricted outside the UK, meaning Australian viewers won’t be able to access it.
The Roar will also be running a live blog of every match of the Rugby World Cup and will have video highlights from each match available within Australia via Roar TV.
TV
Only a select coverage of games will be available via Free-to-Air, however, every single game of the 2015 Rugby World Cup will be broadcast live via Foxtel on Fox Sports 3 and Fox Sports 3HD.
For Free-to-Air coverage, the Nine Network will broadcast a number of games including all of Australia’s matches and all of the finals matches on channel GEM.
For a full list of which matches will and won’t be broadcast on Free-to-Air, check out our Rugby World Cup TV Guide.
Radio
Live commentary of games will be available nationally via ABC and will be live streamed via the ABC Grandstand website.
