Sydney Roosters 2024 Broadcast Guide and NRL Streaming Rights
The 2024 NRL regular season kicks off the 2nd of March and includes 27 rounds, where each team will play a total of twenty-four matches while also receiving three byes. The 2024 Finals begin in early September and culminate on the 6th of October with the NRL Grand Final.
In a broadcasting deal that extends until the end of 2027, the Australian TV rights for the Sydney Roosters and 2024 NRL season have been secured by Foxtel and Channel Nine.
Channel Nine will continue to broadcast up to three live games a week (Thursday night, Friday night, and Sunday afternoon), as well as an additional live Saturday night match during the last five rounds of the regular season. But, all of these matches will also be available on Foxtel/Kayo. Channel Nine does, however, have exclusive live TV rights to the State of Origin series and the 2024 Grand Final.

The matches will be carried on the 24/7 dedicated Fox League channel, where the programming will be formatted for 4K Ultra HD. In addition to every regular season NRL match available live, the online platform Foxtel Now and the streaming service Kayo Sports currently offer new subscribers a free trial.

Watch select Sydney Roosters games on Channel Nine
The Nine Network, better known as Channel 9, is the official NRL free to air broadcaster and will show a select number of Roosters matches live during the 2024 Premiership season.
That’s because under the newest NRL broadcasting agreement, Nine could only secure three live games a week during the first 22 rounds, and then up to four live matches in rounds 23-27.
As a consolation of sorts, channel Nine does have exclusive TV rights to the State of Origin series, and the NRL Grand Final
