The first instalment of this year’s Pacific Test double-header sees the Papua New Guinea and Fiji come face-to-face from Campbelltown Sports Stadium. This is The Roar’s guide to streaming the game online and watching it on TV.
Kick-off is scheduled for 4pm (AEST) on Saturday, June 23 with the coverage wrapping up at 6:15pm.
Both the Kumuls and the Bati proved themselves as strong contenders on the international stage in last year’s World Cup and will be eager to rip in on Saturday afternoon.
There are two choices for watching the game on TV.
The first option is Fox League (Channel 502). The pre-game show begins at 3:30pm and is set to conclude at around 6.15pm.
To watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you will need a valid Foxtel TV subscription, including the sports package.
The other way you can view Saturday afternoon’s game is through 9Gem, which is Channel 92 for free-to-air users and Channel 192 for Foxtel subscribers.
There are three separate options for those wanting to catch the game online.
If you already have the Foxtel TV subscription, you can stream Fox League’s coverage of the match through the Foxtel App, which is free to download and access for with a valid login.
If you are not a Foxtel subscriber, you will need to use Foxtel Now instead. Foxtel Now is a streaming-only option, with several subscription packages available to purchase. You will need to have the sports package if you would like to access Saturday afternoon’s game.
You can also watch the game through Channel 9’s streaming application 9Now.
To stream the coverage, you will need to sign up to 9Now, using either their website or application.
