2025 AFL Masters National Carnival live stream: Watch action from every oval on Day 1
It was a Northern Territory takeover at TIO Stadium as the hosts took centre stage to open the AFL Masters National Carnival. Watch REPLAYS from every match from Day 1 here.
Northern Territory’s over-40s men’s squad produced a devastating victory on the opening day of the AFL Masters Carnival, comprehensively beating West Australia Black at TIO Oval 1.
The Territorians dominated all facets of the game on Sunday, holding their opposition scoreless throughout as they piled on the goals at their end.
It’s a performance which surely sent a message to the rest of the 40s competition about what this group is capable of.
While their performance around the ground was exceptional, the headliner will be Richard Baldock’s nine-goal haul.
The key forward had a chance at double digits on the siren, but had to settle for one fewer as he sent his kick wide left.

The near 158-point shellacking formed just a small part of a huge day of footy across the NT, with replays from across every match at Gardens Oval, TIO Oval and Nightcliff Oval below.

PREVIEW
Hosts Northern Territory will look to make the familiar surrounds of TIO Stadium a fortress when they take over Darwin’s premier footy venue on the opening day of the AFL Masters National Carnival on Sunday.
The Buffaloes are set to feature in five clashes on TIO 1 as they look to kick off their home tournament in style.
All five ovals will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV with the action kicking off at 8.30am AWST (9am AEST).
With a strong contingent of Territory players taking part – including some NTFL greats – the hosts are first in action from 9.55am when a combined NT and South Australia side takes on NSW in the Men 60s division.
The Buffaloes will then take on SA in the Men 45s before a triple-header of clashes against Western Australia to close out the day.
It includes a Women 35s battle where WA will come in full of confidence after taking out the title in 2024.
The Sangropers were also victorious on home soil in the Men 35s last year and that side will begin its defence against Victoria Country at Nightcliff Oval from 9.55am.
With over 60 teams and 1,250 players set to compete, the carnival is set to be a festival of football in Darwin from September 28 to October 4.
Every match will be live streamed exclusively on KommunityTV.
