Following footy properly in Australia means stacking Foxtel or Kayo on top of free-to-air — and even then, some games are app-only. SMART OTT carries Fox Footy, Fox League, Seven and Nine feeds together: every AFL and NRL round from opening weekend through the Grand Finals, plus State of Origin, in one subscription that also covers every other sport Australians watch.
Test all 1.7M+ channels before you buy. No card, no commitment.
