New AFL Schedule will come with DELAYED GAMES (what are we in 2002 ??) Nope this is part of the AFL TV DEAL $$$$
Under the new agreement is some of these games, if they fall on a Saturday, will be shown on delay on Seven and 7plus and live only on Foxtel and Kayo.
This is part of Fox Footy's Super Saturday arrangement under the new deal, which guarantees exclusive rights to live Saturday games in market-specific windows.
With the release of the 2025 fixture last year, we know that this season:
* Four Brisbane games and six Gold Coast games will be shown on free-to-air delay in Queensland in the first 10 rounds
* Four Greater Western Sydney games and three Sydney games will be shown on free-to-air delay in NSW in the first 10 rounds
* Four Adelaide games and four Port Adelaide games will be shown on free-to-air delay in South Australia in the first nine rounds
* Two West Coast games and two Fremantle will be shown on free-to-air delay in Western Australia in the first nine rounds
A key change under the new deal is Super Saturday on Fox, meaning the only place to watch every Saturday men's premiership season game live is on Fox Footy, available on Foxtel and Kayo.
In 2025, for the first nine weeks of the season nationally, the first 11 weeks in the northern markets and the first 25 weeks in Victoria, every Saturday game will be exclusively live only on Fox Footy.
During these windows, Saturday matches involving non-Victorian clubs will still be broadcast into their home markets on Seven and 7plus, but on a delayed basis (more on that below).
