The first live match will be tomorrow night’s top of the table clash between the undefeated Geelong and Essendon teams live from the MCG from 7.30pm.

AFL joins the Foxtel Go line-up with the launch of Footy Play available now on Foxtel Go to Foxtel sports package customers included with their subscription.

All games for the rest of the 2013 home and away season will now be available on Foxtel Go with compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

Also included as part of the Foxtel Go AFL service:

· Exclusive magazine programs including After The Bounce, AFL 360, On The Couch, AFL Insider, League Teams and Open Mike.

· An additional channel, Footy Play+, that will be used to ensure customers do not miss out when more than one Live AFL game is on at the same time.

  1. I tried the Foxtel Go App on the weekend and couldn’t get it to work 🙁 On my iphone 3 on my home wifi and it kept giving the message that the video won’t play as the network is too slow and it will start when my connection improves. Which was pretty ridicules considering I was standing right next to the router and had full wifi strength, I have no trouble streaming apple videos or iview and yet poxtel refused to start.

  3. It was announced in the Melbourne Age the other week that Samsung had signed an Android-exclusive deal with Foxtel from June till November in the hopes of increasing its new phone (Galaxy 4) and tablet (Galaxy Note 8) sales. Foxtel announced earlier this year that the app would also be made available on PC’s in June but I don’t know if this new Samsung deal will affect that.

  4. @johnjet
    as long as its Samsung I have Asus 16:9 HD tablet then what? Google play will lock out any other device until Foxtel says so which to me seems like restricted trading

  5. @laurie I understand that Android apps are more difficult and more expensive to build that Apple ones and of course less people have these devices. They are on their way though supposedly.

  9. Not sure if I read it here or somewhere else but it appears Samsung paid Foxtel exclusive rights for the Android app till November or December if that’s the case then one is to assume Apple did a deal also with Foxtel!!

  10. Thank you %$#^ Foxtel again I miss out on exactly what I wanted for my Android device for…. AFL !!! if this wasn’t David site I would have let loose with the language that’s appropriate and risked being banned

  11. Good news for footy fans who also subscribe to Foxtel. Theoretically, they can bring their iPhone and iPad to the Geelong-Essendon game and listen to Channel Seven commentary (Fox Footy is simulcasting Seven’s coverage) via their earphones while watching the game, and see the replays on their devices.
    Also, how many AFL live games will be available on Foxtel Go each week?
