Seven extends NFL rights deal

More weekly games, playoffs and Super Bowl LX included in coverage

 

The Seven Network today announced it has secured the exclusive Australian free-to-air television rights for the National Football League for the 2025 season.   

 

Seven’s broadcast of the NFL on Seven, 7mate and 7plus Sport will include the 2025 Kickoff matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Super Bowl LIX Champions the Philadelphia Eagles, Thursday night games (broadcast late Friday mornings in Australia) and two Sunday afternoon games (broadcast Monday mornings in Australia), plus all the action from the playoffs and Super Bowl LX.

 

Australian NFL fans will also have access to on-demand shows, replays and highlights on 7plus Sport, including the Emmy-winning and longest-running sports magazine show on US television, NFL Films Presents, plus the NFL DraftNFL Honors and more.

 

Seven’s 2024 NFL season coverage reached 4.7 million Australians, up 6% on the 2023 season. Philadelphia Eagles’ resounding Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs in February this year reached more than 2.6 million Australians on Seven and 7plus Sport, and had a national total TV audience of 892,000, up 11% on Super Bowl LVIII.

Complementing Seven’s match coverage, Armchair Experts is such an important part of the NFL offering. Ben Graham – the first Aussie to ever play in a Super Bowl – alongside seasoned sports broadcaster and die-hard NFL fan, Cam Luke, gives fans the perfect mix of insight and entertainment every week.

 

Delivering live and free matches, including Thursday Night Football, alongside quality magazine programming is all part of Sevens goal to make the NFL accessible to all Australians, live and free all season long.

 

Seven’s coverage of the NFL Pre-Season begins today, 8 August 2025, with the Seahawks taking on the Las Vegas Raiders live and free on 7mate and 7plus Sport.

 

The 2025 season kicks off on 7mate and 7plus Sport on Friday, 5 September, with the defending champions Philadelphia Eagles taking on their longtime rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
