Yes—but only selected matches are free to stream online. In Australia during the 2026 season, check Nine’s schedule and 9Now for its free-to-air games. To stream every match in every round, you’ll need a subscription service such as Kayo. Availability differs by country and fixture.
How to stream selected NRL matches free in Australia

Nine’s rights summary for the 2023–2027 seasons says its weekly selection includes premium live games on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, with a Saturday night game in each of the final five rounds. Nine also says the Grand Final and State of Origin are shown on Nine and 9Now. These are rights details, not a guarantee that a particular fixture is available in your location: check the current broadcast schedule for the match you want.

Can you stream every NRL game free?
No. The free online option covers selected Nine matches, not every match in every round. The Kayo help centre lists Kayo as a subscription service carrying every match of every 2026 round live and on demand, plus finals before the Grand Final live and the Grand Final on a delayed basis. It also lists Foxtel and Foxtel Go for every round and those finals live, with delayed Grand Final coverage. Check each service’s current schedule and terms; current prices and trial offers are not established here.
