Women's involvement in sport continues to grow in popularity with each passing year. From the Matildas crushing it in soccer to more women's NRL teams being added each year, it makes sense that streaming services are jumping on the bandwagon too. And so should you.
AFLW (Australian Football League Women's) is set to kick off an explosive new season very shortly. So here's where to stream all the action live and on-demand from the comfort of your couch.
Where can I stream the 2026 NAB AFLW season?
There are three ways you can stream the entire 2026 NAB AFLW season.
By far the most affordable way is via Binge. While it doesn't have a huge sport offering, Binge is known for its broadcast of AFL, AFLW and Cricket matches. It has every match of the AFLW available to stream live, thanks to its affiliation with Foxtel. Here's how much a Binge subscription will set you back:

If you're hoping to save a few dollars off Binge, there are always Binge deals and plan discounts on offer for both new and returning customers.
- Watch in 4K on two devices
- Valued at $19 per month + 7-day free trial
- Watch sports and premium TV and movies on-demand and ad-free
Kayo Sports also has the rights to live stream premiership AWLF matches. Select events will also be made available via its Kayo Freebies offering, like the Australia vs. Ireland exhibition match on August 1 at 4:15pm AEST. Here are the options for Kayo plans:
Kayo doesn't currently offer a free trial, but you can score some big discounts, such as one month of Kayo Premium for $1.
Alternatively, you can sign up to Foxtel Now; however, this isn't the most affordable option. This is because you will need to sign up for the Sports + Movies Bundle to access its Sports package, at a minimum. This is priced at a hefty $84 per month. Here is how Foxtel Now's sports packages compare:

But if you have already been considering a Foxtel Now subscription, you'll also gain access to over 76 live channels, including movies, drama extra, kids, documentaries and its Essential channels. There are also a few ways to make Foxtel Now not-so-expensive if you know where to look.
- Watch AFL, NRL and F1 live in 4K Ultra HD
- Usually $108/mth (save $53/mth)
- Includes Foxtel Plus and HBO Max (usually $11.99/mth)
*$55 per month on a 12-mth plan. Min. cost $660. New customers only. Offer ends 30 June 2026.
When does the 2026 NAB AFLW season start in Australia?
The 2026 NAB AFLW season starts on Sunday, August 9 2026.
What you need to know about the 2026 AFLW season
AFLW is the Women's equivalent to the Men's AFL. It consists of 18 teams and the season runs for about four months of the year.
AFLW first began in 2016 with just 8 teams. By 2020 it grew to 14 teams and continues to grow year-on-year. Its 2019 AFL Women's Grand Final holds the record for the highest match attendance for women's sport in Australia with a staggering 53,034 attendees.
How long does the 2026 NAB AFLW season go for?
The 2026 NAB AFLW season runs for 12 rounds until the grand final, which is set for the final weekend of November 2026. This means the season goes for an average of four months.
What is Binge?
Binge is Foxtel's competitive response to streaming services. It has a heavy focus on TV shows and movies, with its content library covering prestige drama, sitcoms, reality, crime, documentaries, animation and, more recently, sports.
Once upon a time, it was where a stack of HBO content lived. But since HBO Max launched it own streaming service, it took back series like House of the Dragon, Sopranos, Succession and Euphoria. However, you can still stream plenty of exciting old and new series like Outlander, House, Ponies, Law & Order, 90-Day Fiancé and more.
How does Binge compare?
In terms of pricing, Binge starts at $10 per month for the entry-level plan with ads in High Definition (HD) and one simultaneous stream.
If you upgrade to its Standard subscription for $19 per month, you will get ad-free 4K streaming on two devices.
Binge's top subscription tier, Premium, costs $22 per month and gets you the same streaming quality as Standard but with four simultaneous streams. Every Binge plan comes with a 7-day free trial. There is also the option to subscribe annually for a discounted price.
