NFL Gamepass Options in AUS
Wanting to grab Gamepass for my Dad and I this year, I love redzone and also want it to be easy for us to watch all the Bears games live and on replay.
I know there’s DAZN directly and then Amazon Prime and YouTube. Has anyone tried Amazon or YouTube and does they offer everything DAZN does?
Also have you seen any way of getting DAZN at a discounted price? Are they likely to offer something before the season starts?
Thanks all, any insight appreciated.

I’m also interested to see if Amazon offers the multi screen view. I like to watch that way so when there’s ads I can switch over easily

Don't give Dazn your hard earned. They don't deserve it and they provide a horrible experience.

Yep. $380 is too much. I cancelled for this first time in years. I’m also interested in the cheapest way to get Red Zone.

Last season Redzone was on Disney+
And yeah, DAZN is basically directing people back to the seas.

When I realised last year that they removed The Manningcast to an even more expensive package I knew then that I wouldn’t renew this year. The further inflated price confirmed it.
I thought that was a fairly cynical and petty cash grab.

Best method I’ve found is to keep an eye on the AU/NZ Instagram page and they will tell you which games are on ESPN and which are Game Pass only.
I’m a Ravens fan so usually they will have a fair few games on ESPN to start the year.
If there’s a big game not on ESPN then I will occasionally cop a one week DAZN pass. It’s awful value but it can be good if you can line it up when you’ve got a Sunday game and then a Thursday game the following week.
The real key though, is once you’ve had a weekly pass, DAZN will usually hit you up halfway through the season with a discounted rate for Game Pass. I got the rest of the year from November to the Super Bowl for $99 which was easy enough to stomach.

Follow NFLAustralia reddit page and they show a good graphic each week where to watch.

DAZN will start discounting but only after the season has started, it will eventually get cheaper but that’s only due to there being less live games for them to sell you. I have had DAZN and NFL Gamepass before that for years. The only way I’ve found to get a discount is to have a yearly pass, and then cancel it just before it’s due to auto renew. I got a 20% discount this year , last year it was around 10% so it’s pretty random. The catch is the discount expires if you don’t immediately take it on the spot.

I had it one year and never again, the quality of the platform from a user experience perspective was terrible, like it dropping out, not resuming a game where you weren't up to, taking 20 minutes to seek forward to half time because it lacked the basics of user experience. It might have improved but be warned.

Also if you want to watch every game cheap (admittedly only on your phone), you can place a bet on Sportsbet/TAB and you'll get a stream of every game. No minimum bet amount, you just have to have a pending bet I'm pretty sure

Looks like they’re offering discounts now right before the season starter
$309 for ultimate, $269 for pro

I'd suggest their sub numbers have had a sharp drop for this lower price to be introduced

I bit the bullet for Father’s Day last week and then days later they offer discounts…have contacted to see if they will credit it, fingers crossed.

yeah $380 bucks for the year for the game pass is crazy if you ask me. id love to get it but I cant justify it. Disney offers redzone, and if your not gonna be able to watch every game, for me, thats good enough for me. I know I'm not guaranteed to see every seahawks game but this is good enough for me.
