Across the home and away season and the first Wildcard Round, fans streamed 8.4 billion minutes of AFL. Viewing was counted across Kayo Sports, BINGE, Foxtel Go and Foxtel Now. The result shows how important live AFL has become to sports streaming in Australia.

Collingwood was again one of the season’s biggest audience drivers. The club featured in seven of Kayo Sports’ eight most-watched AFL matches. After Collingwood, the next most watched teams on Kayo Sports were Carlton and Hawthorn. Collingwood’s matches against Hawthorn, the Western Bulldogs and Geelong were the three most watched games of the regular season. Kayo Sports also delivered its highest-rating Gather Round. In addition, Hawthorn’s clash with the Western Bulldogs became the highest rating Gather Round match on the platform. The AFL’s first Wildcard Round delivered 123 million minutes streamed across the weekend. Four teams fought for the final two places in the top eight. Friday night’s Western Bulldogs v Collingwood clash was the most watched Friday night AFL match on Kayo Sports in 2026. Meanwhile, Saturday night’s Melbourne v Carlton match was the most watched Kayo Sports meeting between the two clubs. It was also the second-highest performing AFL game of 2026, behind Hawthorn v Collingwood in Round 23. Round 12 was the most watched regular season round. It included Fremantle v Brisbane, Collingwood v Western Bulldogs and Carlton’s close win over Geelong. Round 13 was the second most watched round.
