The NRL is back, and the pre-season will launch into gear with what is likely to be the best All Stars game in the history of the concept, as the Australian Indigenous team take on a New Zealand Maori outfit. This is The Roar’s guide to streaming the match online, or watching it on TV.
Kick-off in what is the first official match of the pre-season is scheduled for 8pm (AEDT) on Friday, February 15 at AAMI Park in Melbourne.
The NRL All Stars game was last played in 2017, when the Indigenous All Stars team belted a World All Stars team, who seemed to have little interest in the concept, highlighted by the lack of star power and pre-match withdrawals.
Before 2017, the concept also lacked plenty, when the opposition were simply called the NRL All Stars, made up of other Australian, New Zealand, English or Pacific Island-heritage players.
There are no such issues this time around though, with the Maori team obviously keen to play for their culture and heritage.
There will be two ways to watch this match on TV, with one being on Foxtel and the other free-to-air TV.
Fox Sports, who will broadcast every game during the upcoming NRL season, will have coverage of the match beginning at 7:30pm (AEDT) on their 24/7 league channel, Fox League. This can be found on Channel 502.
To watch the coverage there, you will need a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package.
The other way to watch the game will be on Channel 9. Their coverage can be found on Channel 90 in high definition and 91 in standard definition.
There will also be a number of ways to live stream the match online.
Foxtel’s coverage will have three separate methods to stream the action, with Kayo Sports the best of those. This allows you to stream all of Foxtel’s sports channels from $25 per month.
The other ways to stream Foxtel’s coverage will be through the Foxtel App and Foxtel Now.
To stream the free-to-air TV coverage, you will need to use 9Now, which is free, but requires you to sign up with a valid email address and password.
