Watch NFL live on Channel 7 as Thursday Night Football comes to Australian free-to-air television
The Seven Network will broadcast even more NFL games this season after announcing an expanded agreement for the exclusive Australian free-to-air rights, with matches to air on 7mate and 7plus Sport.
Seven's coverage of the NFL pre-season begins on Friday with the Las Vegas Raiders taking on the Seattle Seahawks, before the LA Rams take on the Cowboys on Sunday.
The regular season kicks off with the 2025 opener between Aussie Jordan Mailata's Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys on Friday, September 5.
Friday broadcasts will continue throughout the season, with the NFL's Thursday Night Football blockbusters added to the schedule for the first time alongside the familiar Monday morning double-headers.
Seven will also broadcast all the action from the playoffs and Super Bowl LX, including the half-time show.
Australian 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 Draft, NFL Honors and more.
'We're thrilled to continue our long-term partnership with the NFL to broadcast the most popular sport in the US to passionate Australians, live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport,' Seven's commercial director of sport Renee Quirk said.
'Since we first brought the NFL to Australian free-to-air audiences in 2014, it's been a key pillar of our sport offering, and we're excited to take it even further.
'With the addition of the Kickoff Game and Thursday Night Football to this landmark deal, Australians will be treated to live and free NFL action on a Friday morning, which is an incredible result for both the growth of the sport in Australia and for Aussie viewers.
'This partnership reaffirms our strategy to deliver live coverage of the world's biggest sporting events across the screens of Seven and 7plus Sport and the NFL continues to be a huge part of that.'
Armchair Experts with Cam Luke and Australia's Super Bowl punter Ben Graham is also back for another season, bringing insight and entertainment to fans.
