How to live stream the AFL grand final overseas
The best way to watch an international live stream of the AFL grand final is via the Watch AFL service. It allows you to watch all AFL matches while outside Australia, including the grand final, plus giving you access to the 24/7 Fox Footy channel and the ability to pause, rewind and download games. It’s worth noting this only works overseas, so don’t try it out if you’re in Australia!

It’s available on a range of different platforms, including the Watch AFL site on desktop, plus iOS and Android apps for your tablet or mobile.

There are a number of subscription offers currently available for Watch AFL, including a grand final pass for $40 AUD. The grand final pass will give you instant access to the service until October 9.

How to watch the AFL grand final on TV overseas
The AFL has a number of international broadcast partners who will presumably be showing the grand final live, such as ABC Australia in the Pacific, BT Sport in the UK, Sky Television in New Zealand and Fox Sports in the USA.

Check your local guides to see if and when a channel is covering the grand final. Alternatively, hitting up a local pub or sports bar tends to be a good bet, although you’ll want to touch base with them early to make sure they’re showing the game.

And remember The Roar will have a live blog and commentary of the grand final from 2:15pm (AEST), as well as all the best reaction, analysis and news from the 2019 decider, so be sure to keep it locked right here.
