How to Watch and Listen to Geelong Sport: TV, Radio and Streaming Guides

Geelong is a city that takes its sport seriously, and following the action does not always require a ticket to GMHBA Stadium or a front-row seat at the Festival of Sails. A mix of free-to-air television, radio commentary, digital streaming and community broadcasting keeps Geelong supporters connected whether they are at home, at work, or stuck in traffic on the Princes Freeway.

AFL football is the cornerstone of Geelong's sporting media landscape. Channel Seven and Fox Footy broadcast all Geelong Cats home and away games, with Seven carrying a free-to-air game each round. Kayo Sports offers a streaming subscription that includes every AFL game live and on demand, making it the go-to for fans who want comprehensive coverage without a traditional pay-TV subscription. The AFL website and app also carry official live scores, detailed match statistics and video highlights throughout the season.

On the radio, ABC Sport broadcasts AFL commentary across its national network, and 3AW in Melbourne has long been the home of call-by-call AFL radio in Victoria. For Geelong listeners, the Cats' own digital platforms including the club website and the official app include podcasts, interviews and post-match analysis that extend the coverage well beyond match day. Local stations also run AFL preview and review segments throughout the season.

For cycling fans, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race is covered live each January on SBS, which has broadcast the event since its early years and typically provides extensive free-to-air and streaming coverage. The World Surf League's app and website stream the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach live and free, making it easy to follow the world's best surfers even if you cannot make the trip to the cliff-tops.

Community broadcasting plays a meaningful role in Geelong's sporting media too. Local community radio stations carry commentary and sport-focused programs that give airtime to grassroots competitions, junior sport and events that larger networks overlook. Checking the program guides of Geelong's community stations is worthwhile for anyone who wants coverage that goes beyond the professional codes.
