Does Kayo show every AFL game live?  And by every AFL game I mean Demon games

Yes except GF.

 

Just tired to redeem the Telstra $5 Kayo deal and can’t get it to work. I get stuck in a loop during registration every time. Tried on multiple devices, private browsing windows etc and no success. I can’t even give these [censored] my [censored] money to watch. No support number to call either, just send feedback and hope for the best. These companies who own the broadcast rights are [censored] pathetic.

The whole direction of the game being manipulated to suit broadcasting and not being able to watch the [censored] broadcast is mind blowing poor.

If anyone has had a similar problem and had it solved, then please help a tragic demon out!

Are you doing it thru your Telstra rewards account? It worked for us when we tried it that way rather than redeeming an email link.

Yep tried going through Telstra account and via link in AFL app. Keep getting stuck at the last hurdle, then it loops through to and discount disappears and it asks you to confirm $25 a month. Happens on both phone and computer. It’s something to do with being an existing user, and I can’t even use a different email as it asks for your mobile during registration and then says phone number in use already ?

Thanks anyway!

That’s really weird. We are existing Telstra customers and we never had an issue. Maybe call them. That will be fun. Good luck!

Just some additional info for those who may be interested in Kayo.

While Kayo still takes the in game ch 7 commentary there are now no ad breaks (no commentary at that time) and during quarter breaks you get the Fox commentators not Ch 7

A welcome improvement

 

hi does anyone know if u have a Telstra mobile on the Telstra $5 deal is the data download for the streaming free?

 

What if you pay the $25 Kayo and you use Telstra mobile - again what abut the data download when streaming?

 

 

Question re Kayo...how long after the match finishes do they put it up to stream? I’m watching today but won’t always get to watch it live, if it takes a day or so I’ll switch back to Foxtel. TIA, ET out.

it stays there for months.

The diff is that after a day or so it goes into replay mode which is lower quality video than the 1080 of match day

Ahhh ok excellent thanks. As soon as the game is finished is it available to watch straight away?

yes.. just select the play from start option (if the live/from start options are given) and you're away

the replays have the pregame comments cut out of them also

You can technically start from the start at any point. So if your out and about and come home at half time you can start it from the start rather than live rather than waiting for the match to finish. But as soon as the match is over you can watch the entire replay.

Currently battling with bloody Telstra “on line chat”

It appears that I am eligible fora $5 per month but cannot get them to answer what I get for this?

Is the open access $15 per month a better deal? Does that include golf?

no difference in the deal whatsoever so go for your $5 deal

Not a golf fan but as I understand it Kayo carries all the major golf tournaments plus a few levels below but it does not carry the "golf channel."

Same situation for tennis where the specialist tennis channle is not carried.

Just chucking this in here in case anyone else runs into weird issues trying to redeem the $5 Kayo deal you get this year through Telstra.

No matter if I went through Telstra account of AFL app link to Kayo, I couldn’t get it to work and kept getting generic error about account creation/link. 

Went through Telstra support and nothing wrong on their end. Went through Kayo support and after a week of no solution they discovered my mobile number was attached to an account that was never activated. Kayo accounts use a platform called SteamMotion which uses your mobile number to verify, so they can stop people redeeming multiple free trials. Somehow my phone number got attached to an account with an email address and details completely unrelated to me?! They removed it from their end and I was able to then able to create the account fine.

Hopefully this post helps someone else if they run into similar issues!

Half way thorugh the Bombers match my Kayo video came up with an error. Thought the kids had logged on and used the screens but turned out that cache was full.

Had to empty the cache which lost all the log ins which required reactivation etc etc... missed a quarter.. first world problems

I could be wrong but I believe you need to register via a Telstra mobile device and have wifi disabled so that it validates you are on a Telstra cellular service. This worked for me and I'm on a Boost subscription, which uses Telstra network.

$5 per month for Kayo is unbelievable value for Melbourne Football Club digital subscription.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
