The most exciting part of the NFL season is underway – the playoffs. We’ve already seen some classic matches in the wildcard round – the kind that will stick in the minds of winners and losers for years to come – and there’s more to come in the next few weeks.
There’s a number of different ways available to watch all the action, whether you’re looking to live stream the playoffs online, or watch them on TV.
Live stream online
There are two ways available to watch the NFL playoffs via an online live stream in Australia.
One way to do so will be 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. A two-week free trial is available for new customers.
All the playoffs games will be broadcast through ESPN, so you can access them via the Foxtel apps.
The other option is to purchase an NFL Game Pass and live stream the games via the NFL website.
The pricing for this was $64.99 (US) for the season, but there’s a playoffs-only service available for $54.99 (US) instead.
TV
The entire NFL playoffs series is being broadcast both through free-to-air and Foxtel in Australia.
You can watch the playoffs on free-to-air via channel 7mate, or via channel ESPN (channel number 508) on Foxtel.
Every match of the playoffs will be broadcast live on both services.
