In Australia, Saturday Arvo Football (formerly as Saturday Afternoon Football) is the broadcasting of Australian Football League (AFL) Saturday afternoon matches on television. The Seven Network has the broadcast rights for the AFL starting from the 2012 season.
The original Saturday Arvo Football telecast may not air into some states, as the current broadcasting contract requires the local teams to be televised into their respective states (for example, Saturday afternoon matches involving the Brisbane Lions must be televised into Queensland).
