Watching games live overseas

[Topdog]

I'll keep the thread simple, anyone know the best way to do this? Happy to pay for it but last time I tried watchafl it was a steaming pile of crap.

I watched on the Foxtel Go app no problem last year, I'm assuming Kayo should work as well.

Might be wrong but I think Kayo is region locked. Might need a VPN to make it seem like you're in Aus for it to work.

Actually Kayo clarifies this

They recommend this app. Expensive though.

Here someone recommends using NordVPN with Kayo

You are right and it says the same thing about Foxtel Go yet I swear I watched it and I certainly didn't have a VPN. Maybe I dreamt it!

i have always used watchafl when overseas.

Had no issues going back to 2016. Last used it in 2019.

I've used Watch AFL often and it works fine for me. Maybe you should revisit it and work through the process carefully when you fire it up.

Watch AFL is apparently also only in 720p...

On memory you need a VPN

I'm not overseas but I've never been able to get Kayo or Foxtel Go to work with a couple of different VPNs, including those mentioned in the above reddit thread. Tried every Aussie server imaginable.

Watchafl is 720p because it's meant to be watched on a device with a small screen, so that's their excuse for being 15 years behind.

People often posts links on reddit to a couple of different sites that stream AFL games, I saved one, tried it last night, quality is good but looks like there's about a 60 second or so delay. Not sure if I can post the link so you can DM me for it if you like.

[Topdog]

I'll be watching on a laptop anyway so the 720p wont bother me tooooo much. Will just give watchafl a go i think but thanks for the reddit shoutout. Can keep an eye out there and yeah good idea not to post the link openly here.

I went with Watch AFL while living overseas and it's not great, but in Hanoi that's what most of the venues had running so you were pretty much stuck with it no matter what!

Just don't forget to stop your subscription like I did. They still sting you over summer!

I'm using WatchAFL atm and it's working fine.

On a laptop screen so picture quality doesn't seem to be an issue.

I use WatchAFL. I buy a Digital Membership from the Bulldogs for about $250 and it comes with this subscription. If I boght this in the UK it would be ?300. Buy the Digital membership!

Where are you mate?

Southern France. Been lucky enough to take our 1 year old twins on a trip from Barcelona to Nice. Watching the footy is a very pleasant way to spend the evening once you get them into bed and dig into the food and wine you collected throughout the day.
