More fans than ever will be able to watch the W-League this season with seven broadcast partners covering set to show Australian football around the world.
For the first time, both leagues will broadcast on YouTube and Twitter in territories that are not covered by traditional broadcasters.
Here is a list of broadcasters for W-League:

Fox Sports | Australia | TV & Stream |
SBS Viceland | Australia | TV & Stream - one match per round |

“We are delighted with the commitment shown by our major broadcast partner Fox Sports,” FFA CEO David Gallop said.
“We are also delighted to expand our international broadcast coverage into some of the biggest sports entertainment markets in the world.
“This is also the first time we have partnered with YouTube and Twitter in an innovative arrangement which is aimed to grow our global presence.
“But we are not stopping there. We are also anticipating additional broadcast partners to come on aboard in the coming weeks in new regions," he said.
How to watch in Australia?
As announced earlier this year, all W-League matches will be streamed for first time on the Telstra network with the My Football Live App and Telstra Live Pass.
If yous on the Telstra network, this won't cost you anything to stream but non-Telstra customers can purchase a $99.99 annual Live Pass, $16.99 monthly Live Pass, $4.99 weekly Live Pass.
At least one match a round being shown on Fox Sports while SBS Viceland will air 14 regular round matches but this won't be every round of the season.
In a move to give women's football unprecedented exposure, those with Foxtel can access coverage of the W-League's stand-alone Thursday matches.
How to watch in North America?
At least 17 W-League matches which will be streamed from October through to February with ESPN+ signing a multi-year deal to broadcast the W-League in the United States.
However, W-League kick-off time does not favour the US like the NWSL does for Australian's.
The opening match of the season will be an early rise for some with a 4:30 am wake up on Thursday if you're on the east coast.
If you're on the west coast, early afternoon games like the match between Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory on October 28, will be more to your liking with the game kicking off at 8:30pm PDT Saturday October 27.
