The National Football League (NFL) is preparing to capture the attention of sports fans in Australia with a robust broadcasting schedule for the 2024-2025 season. Starting with a historic season opener in Brazil, the NFL will be featured prominently on the Seven Network, providing Australian viewers with live coverage of games throughout the season. Events kick off on September 7 with a matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles, broadcast across various platforms, including 7mate and 7plus.

Broadcast Schedule and Coverage

This season, Australian audiences can tune in every Monday morning for live coverage of the NFL’s game of the day. The coverage will commence at 3 AM AEST, accessible via the SEN App. Australian NFL great Ben Graham, known for his Super Bowl experience with the Arizona Cardinals, will join Jordan Kounelis to deliver expert commentary. Every Sunday morning, enthusiasts will also enjoy “The All-American Hour,” airing at 8 AM AEST on 1116 SEN and through the SEN App, providing updates and discussions surrounding American sports.

The NFL action will continue on September 9 with a double-header featuring the Tennessee Titans versus the Chicago Bears, followed by the Washington Commanders taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This exciting lineup will be complemented by “NFL Armchair Experts,” a recap and analysis show hosted by Graham and Cam Luke, along with comedian and NFL super fan Adam Rosenbachs. This returning show promises insights into the week’s highlights and major events in the league.
