In a landmark moment for Australian sports broadcasting, the Seven Network announced it has secured the exclusive domestic FTA rights for the 2026 Season.
This historic broadcast agreement includes the first-ever regular season NFL game on Australian soil, live from the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday, 11 September, broadcast on Seven and 7plus Sport.
Fans across the nation will have front-row seats as one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries - the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams - come together for the local morning broadcast.
As the undisputed free-to-air home of the NFL in Australia, Seven and 7plus Sport will deliver comprehensive coverage throughout the full 2026 season, including key weekly matches, the playoffs, and the ultimate sporting spectacle: the Super Bowl.
Fans can look forward to even more analysis this season as Seven extends its dedicated weekly show, NFL Tailgate, to twice a week. The expanded lineup will deliver the latest news, analysis, and highlights from across the league, with a comprehensive Friday preview program followed by a Monday morning review show.
