Australia and New Zealand will renew hostilities when they kick-off a three-Test series in Perth, with this also serving as the first-ever day-night encounter in the Western Australian capital. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming the match online, or watching it on TV.
The match will run from Thursday, December 12 to Monday, December 16, with it to be played at Optus Stadium. Play is scheduled to begin at 4pm (AEDT) on each day of the match, and end at approximately 11:30pm (AEDT).
The home side comes into this series in excellent form, having retained the Ashes in a drawn series on the road during winter, before trouncing Pakistan 2-0, with both Tests won by an innings to kick-off the home summer of cricket.
They will run into a much sterner challenge from the Black Caps though, who have been one of the best teams in the world across all formats this year.
New Zealand head to Australia having recently defeated England on home soil, winning the first Test of that series by an innings, and drawing the second.
There will be two ways to watch this match on TV, with both Channel 7 and Fox Sports broadcasting all Australian Test cricket played on home soil.
Fox Sports will cover the match ad-break free during live play, with coverage commencing at 3pm (AEDT) on each day of play. They will show the match on Channel 501, known as Fox Cricket.
To watch the coverage on Fox Sports, you will need to ensure you have a valid Foxtel TV subscription, complete with the sports package of channels.
If you’d prefer to watch the coverage on Channel 7, you will be able to do so for free, on Channel 70 in standard definition, 71 in high definition or Channel 107 if watching through a Foxtel service.
The only ways to stream the match online will be through the Fox Sports coverage, with the pay-TV broadcaster accessible through a couple of different methods.
The best of those is Kayo Sports, which is available for $25 per month and has the rights to all of Foxtel’s sporting content, as well as other selected events.
Foxtel’s traditional applications, Foxtel Now and the Foxtel App can also be used to live stream the action.
Foxtel Now is the way to go if you only want to stream the channels of Foxtel, however, if you already have a TV subscription, then the App will be the way to go as it’s included in plans, provided you have valid login details.
