Short of beating the Poms at cricket and the benefits of a good moustache, there are few things all Australians at home and abroad can agree on, but the benefits of 7Plus, the free streaming service arm of top-rated Seven Network, is one of them. But can you watch 7Plus from abroad in the U.K., U.S.A, Canada or further afield? Below we explain how to access 7Plus from any location.
7Plus is great for fans of AFL, NFL and more cricket than you shake a bat at – including the upcoming 2025/26 Ashes against England – and other sports that are often only available on Pay T.V. outside Australia. Plus, there's drama and reality TV including "Chicago Fire" and "Love Island USA".
While 7Plus could hardly be easier to use in Australia, it's a different story the moment you leave the country. So read on as we explain how to watch 7Plus live online from anywhere in the world.

Live sports on 7Plus
NordVPN is our #1 recommendation for accessing 7Plus outside Australia. With excellent speeds, unrivalled location spoofing power and easy-to-use apps, it's the perfect choice for watching 9Now for free anywhere.
There's some top-tier sporting action on 7Plus and, yes, that's still FREE, just like all the other content on the streaming service. Just some of the sports to enjoy include cricket, NFL, AFL, motorsport, horse racing, surfing and plenty more.
Perhaps biggest of all, especially in an Ashes year, is cricket. Nor is it just the upcoming 2025/26 men's and women's Ashes between Australia and England from November, but the men's and women's Big Bash Leagues and a gaggle of other leather-on-willow action.
Arguably the only sport bigger Down Under than cricket is AFL, and 7Plus have you covered there, too. 7Plus shows free-to-air Aussie rules matches throughout the season, and every match of the Finals Series.
Love your NFL? Well, 7Plus has at least three free matches every matchday to live stream. And if golf is your bag, then 7Plus is the home of LIV Golf. If catching waves is more your thing, the WSL Championship Tour is available for surfing fans.
What's on 7Plus?
As well as being the home of iconic Aussie soap "Home and Away", 7Plus also counts "A Country Pracitce", "Better Homes and Gardens" and "Australian Idol" on its roster.
If reality T.V. is your guilty pleasure, 7Plus will also satiate your fix. That's because "My Kitchen Rules", Australia's top-rated entertainment show, has its home on the streaming platform, along with "Dancing with the Stars Australia", "The Amazing Race Australia" and "Farmer Wants a Wife".
Some of its other big draws are "Law and Order SVU" and "Chicago Fire".
Which VPN works best with 7Plus? (and 9Now, etc)
Even if you live in Australia, the moment you leave the country whether for work or vacation, you'll lose access to the entire 7Plus library.
NordVPN will give you a route back in, no matter where in the world you are. Plus, you'll be able to tap into programming from different regions of Australia.
VPNs also encrypt and anonymize your browsing data, keeping it private not only from cybercriminal and government snooping, but from your internet service provider too.
