VFL live stream: How to watch the VFL, full fixtures, TV guide

The 2022 VFL season will be played between Friday, March 25 and Sunday, September 18, when it concludes with the VFL Grand Final. Here is your guide to watching every game on TV, or live streaming state league Aussie Rules online.

There were no premiers awarded for the past two seasons of the VFL, which were heavily impacted by COVID-19, with Richmond the reigning premiers from their 2019 Grand Final win.

Most rounds of the VFL season will see 10 matches played, with one club having a bye. They are generally split into one Friday, six on Saturday and three on Sunday, although there can be differences from time to time.

Under the terms of the VFL TV deal, all nine games are available to both watch on TV, and live stream online. You can scroll down to the bottom of this article to see which games are coming up this weekend.
