25 rounds 16 teams, 8 make the finals but that can only be one winner. I'm Finder's
sport publisher Aaron McAllister, and I'm here to tell you about all your viewing options
for the upcoming 2020 NRL season. And there's more content and more options than ever before
to watch NRL. So let's run through them and find out which one stands out as the cliff
diver Channel Nine has limited free to air rights. While, Fox Sports has every single
game of the season live. Then there's also watch NRL and NRL live channel not a non now
are you two main ways of watching the NRL outside of New South Wales in Queensland,
those games may get bumped onto Gem they're free and supported by advertising and almost
anyone can watch them. Channel Nine only has the rights to show three live games per week,
up until around 21 where they also pick up an additional Saturday night game. For the
other matches you have to rely on highlights or shows like 100% Footy or the Sunday footy
show, some teams are favour more than others. Broncos have 18 out of 24 games on free to
air while the warriors have just one free to air game. The rest of them have to be watched
by Fox league. As mentioned, Channel Nine has three live games per week and exclusive
rights to the State of Origin series and NRL Grand Final. Foxtel and Kayo show every match
of every round live and ad break free. They've also got shows like Sunday night with Matty
Johns and NRL 360. As well as up to four Super League matches per hour, you get over 50 other
sports live. You also get minis which is special condensed versions of games that cut it down
to about 15 minutes, making it a lot easier to keep up with the season. With Kayo you
also get exclusive features like interactive stats, which we'll explain a little later
on. Foxtel has long been home of rugby league, whether it's the traditional sets of box setup
with foxo iq or the streaming service Foxtel Now the problem is you can't just get the
sports pack must also get the essentials pack or the foxtel plus pack foxtel IQ is the only
way to get 4k content. They also have recording, but who needs that in a world that now has
on demand streaming everywhere. Foxtel iQ does have to be installed. It costs 70 photos
a month, but you can probably find the package on sale. Foxtel Now is cheaper at 54 dollars
a month that you can record or watch in 4k. So why Foxtel? You don't just get sports,
you also get some drama, but you've probably already got a subscription service elsewhere.
So weigh that option off Kayo Sports. This is our pick to the best option. There's a
14 day free trial available. It only costs $25 a month, or $35 a month If you want an
extra screen to stream on. You get all the same content as Foxtel sports package minus
sky racing, but kayo is a streaming service so it's more flexible and can pick up more
programming than traditional TV. So basically, you can watch anything you want on Kayo, live
or on demand. Kayo comes with a tonne of exclusive viewing features split view key moments timeline
Race view and most importantly, interactive stats, which allows you to grab a better insight
into the game. NRL Live pass is free for illegible Telstra customers. For everyone else. There's
weekly, monthly or annual subscription options, but you must know screen sizes restricted
to just seven inches. So it's really just for mobile. You can't watch it on TV. So what's
the point? Finally we finished with Watch NRL which is your best way to watch from overseas.
There's weekly, monthly or annual options again, but it gives you access to every NRL
game live as well as state of origin. What general is available almost anywhere in the
world except for New Zealand and almost all the Pacific Islands. Watch NRL is 199 Australian
dollars annually or 39 Australian dollars monthly which is the best? So well Channel
Nine gives you an okay look at the NRL season. It's really just a snippet if you're overseas
save yourself the hassle and go with watch NRL otherwise Kayo sports is our recommendation
it offers Every minute of the seasons action, plus all the additional content that just
a fraction of Foxtel's price. It even has more features than Foxtel. Oh, not to mention,
you get 50 other sports with it as well. The good news is you can get Kayo for free, just
click on the 14 day trial button below and if it doesn't work out for you simply cancel
before the end of your free trial. Let us know in the comments who you think's gonna
