Where to watch the A-League Soccer games in Bali
The A-League Men (Isuzu UTE A-League) is Australia’s top professional soccer league. For the current 2025/26 season, all matches are broadcast exclusively in Australia on Paramount+ (streaming every game live and on-demand) and Network 10 (select Saturday games live on free-to-air TV channels like 10 Drama, plus streaming on 10 Play).
The A-Leage Grand Final will be on Saturday 24th May 2026.
Watching in Bars & Pubs in Bali
Bali has a huge expat/Australian community, so many sports bars show live sports – especially popular ones like AFL, NRL, Premier League, and rugby. A-League (soccer) is less dominant than Aussie rules football, but several bars do show it upon request or if it’s a big match (e.g., derbies like Melbourne Victory vs. City).Sports bars subscribe to services like beIN Sports, Astro, or international feeds, and many have Aussie connections. Call ahead or message their Instagram/Facebook to confirm they’ll screen a specific game – they often accommodate requests.

Other mentions: Adrenalin Sports Bar (Seminyak), The Bench (Canggu), Winx (Petitenget).Tips for bars:
- Games are often on weekends (Australian time: evenings in Bali, as Bali is 2-3 hours behind AEDT depending on daylight saving).
- Arrive early for big matches.
- Many have happy hours, Bintang buckets, and Western/Indo food.
- Atmosphere is fun with expat crowds – great for meeting fellow fans.
If you’re a die-hard fan, the VPN + Paramount+ combo is the most reliable for every game. For a social experience, hit the bars! Enjoy Bali and the footy.
Streaming Options in Bali (Online)
Paramount+ and 10 Play are geo-restricted to Australia due to broadcasting rights. They are not officially available in Indonesia (including Bali), and international access is limited.
- Best method: Use a VPN
- Connect to an Australian server using a reliable VPN (e.g., ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark, or PureVPN – many have good success with Paramount+).
- Subscribe to Paramount+ (AUD ~$10/month) for every single A-League match live.
- For select games (usually 2 per Saturday), you can try 10 Play (free with account), but it’s more restricted abroad.
- Tip: Sign up for Paramount+ while connected to the VPN. Use a payment method that works (e.g., Australian card or gift card if needed).
- No official free international streams: The A-Leagues website lists overseas broadcasters, but Indonesia isn’t included. Check aleagues.com.au for updates, though it’s unlikely for Bali.
- Illegal streams: Sites like hesgoal or totalsportek sometimes carry A-League games, but quality is poor, risky (malware/ads), and not recommended.
